AAPT Workshop W29: Biology Inspired Labs for the IPLS course: includes labs on

Electrocardiography, Bone scaling, Brownian motion, and Diffusion

Medical Physics Labs, Suzanne Amador Kane: includes labs on

Human eye, Ultrasound imaging, Radiography, and Tomography

The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology website has collected materials on Biomechanics which include exercises/demos and sometimes movie clips.  This includes work of Steve Vogel and others:

Here are two labs that we used at UNH that are more or less based on Vogel.  The first uses different shapes of pasta and has the students measure modulus of elasticity and breaking strain.

The second is a lab to think about flow and viscosity
