November is National Diabetes Month in the U.S., and November 14 is World Diabetes Day. Students who have diabetes or have a family member or friend with diabetes are often especially interested in doing related science projects. Our new diabetes special collection helps all K-12 students explore science related to diabetes in areas of health and human biology, genetics, medicine, engineering, and computer science.
Science Buddies Project Ideas related to diabetes are sponsored by Novo Nordisk.
