Description:  In Medical Detectives students become the investigator solving real-life medical mysteries!  Students collect and analyze medical data to diagnose diseases, just like real doctors and scientists.  They take part in hands-on projects and labs, where students measure and interpret vital signs to uncover clues, dissect a sheep brain to explore how the human brain works (and what happens when it doesn't!), and investigate how diseases spread and work to stop outbreaks in their tracks.
