HEADS UP is an initiative to excite middle and high school students about science!
Multimedia science curriculum modules provide teachers in Houston, the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and other areas in Texas and beyond with cutting-edge health science content. Presented in a video format with student role models, researchers, other experts, colorful images and animation, content is reinforced with classroom activities, glossaries, and TAKS warm-ups/assessment tools. A variety of careers are highlighted with biographies of scientists and other professionals.
Modules are designed by field experts and teachers and aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills and National Science Education Standards.
Modules are produced through collaboration of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston with the Spring Branch Independent School District, Project GRAD Houston, The Health Museum, and numerous other partners.
