Online HASPI Lab Activities

Our class incorporates several online HASPI activities. To view these in full color, visit the links below.

The HASPI Anatomy and Physiology resources were created through collaboration with industry members, higher education representatives, high school science teachers, and middle school science teachers. The resources include labs and activities that cover the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for high school earth, life, and physical science AND incorporate medical themes. The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Science and Technical Subjects have also been incorporated.
