Hoover Elementary - Biomedical, Health Sciences and Engineering

As a specialty school in the Anoka-Hennepin School District, we teach the same core curriculum as other district elementary schools. Through integration, we also provide students with hands-on learning experiences that have a biomedical, health sciences and engineering focus, and tie to the Minnesota education standards. Our students focus on human body systems and the biomedical and technological innovations that keep us healthy.

STEM-Health

Work was done to create STEM-H units (district curriculum and standards-aligned) focused on the human body systems and its anatomy (What is it?), physiology (What does it do?), homeostasis (How does it stay healthy?) and diseases (What happens when it is not healthy?). Through a hands-on, inquiry-based approach, students and staff are involved in exploring and learning about the human body systems and the biomedical and technological innovations that keep us healthy. Students and staff participate in on-site and off-site field experiences, build relationships with community partners and engage in engineering challenges that connect back to our focus of Biomedical, Health Sciences and Engineering.

Body system experts

At Hoover, our students don't just learn about the human body; they become experts in it. Over their time with us, they study six body systems:

  • Skeletal
  • Muscular
  • Digestive
  • Respiratory
  • Circulatory
  • Nervous

Hoover students gain a comprehensive understanding of how the human body works and how to keep it healthy.
