HOME LEARNING: HL 4 Functions of the circulatory system
AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP
Students answered and justified their answers to the above question for their bell ringer.
Home learning 4 was distributed and explained. As part of the lab, we reviewed the circulatory system. You can find the links below to review the information.
Students were assigned groups so that we could rotate through the 5 stations of the lab:
Station 1 - Blood Pressure and Blood Flow
Station 2 - Effect of Exercise on Blood Flow
Station 3 - Effect of Resistance on Blood Flow
Station 4 - Effect of Blood Viscosity on Blood Flow
Station 5 - Effect of Blood Volume on Blood Flow
We did not have time to write up the lab, but will conclude next class.
