The new cardiovascular lab will retain the simple ID and labeling components, but will be expanded to include portions that encourage kinesthetic learners. In the new structure, students will visit a series of stations that illustrate the structures and functions of the heart after completing the book objectives. The first station will be a toy model of the heart that can be taken apart to see the internal components, and an actual heart. This station appeals to the visual and kinesthetic learners because they are seeing and touching the heart. Here the students can compare different internal and external structures prior to answering a series of questions describing the relationship of various structures to each other. At the next station

Watching a video will be helpful for visual and auditory leaners. The questions associated with this station will deal primarily with blood pressure, volume, and what the issues are that could arise if these elements are not at homeostasis. The final cardiovascular station will be a recording of auscultations for students to listen to. There will also be a stethoscope available for the students to listen for auscultations on themselves and on other students that will charm to the auditory and kinesthetic learners. . By the end of this lab it is the hope that the student will walk away with both general knowledge of the heart and its structures and place in the body and specific information on overall proper function and the role of the various structures. This lab has many layers associated with it to keep the student engaged and to appeal to each of the learning styles. It is crucial for learning that students develop strong neural pathways, and by having the same information demonstrated in different ways will help with memory because each station added to it’s …show more content…
Following the completion of the activities in the lab manual, students will be able to summarize the functions of the digestive system and locate structures and their functions. The chapter ends by asking the student to label the structures involved in the digestive system, followed by questions to test understanding. To reinforce students' understanding of the human digestion process, the functions of several stomach and small intestine fluids will be analyzed by creating an artificial stomach, by filling a large clear container with vinegar because it has a similar acidity to gastric acid. The small intestines will be simulated with water and baking soda. Baking soda and water together form a base similar to bile, while vinegar is similar to the pH of stomach acid. Since digestion begins in the mouth, students will pick various things that are consumed from food to pills and decide to crush them or “swallow” them whole by simply by placing them in the in the large stomach bucket. There will be many questions asked of each student along the way to test their comprehension. This lab appeals to all 3 of the learning styles because visual learners can watch, the auditory learners can hear the professors descriptions and the kinesthetic learners will appreciate the hands on component of grinding up food and placing it into the
