Tissue Engineering and Biological Systems

The video provides an overview of Unit 6.2, focusing on modeling body systems and addressing a fictional RAD disease scenario. It outlines the unit's structure, including ten lessons designed for sixth graders, emphasizing systems and systems modeling. Students explore biological systems, identify pathogens, and develop tissue engineering solutions. The unit aims to enhance understanding of organ systems and their interactions, culminating in a class presentation of optimized solutions.
