Description
Students explore HOMEOSTASIS and FEEDBACK LOOPS through a series interactive and informational stations. Station reference materials connect concepts to science while activities at stations serve as examples. The key take away is that internal balance is key to overall human health and survival.
A high interest, fun, hands on lab experience for students ranging from 6th-12th grade. Use as either an introduction or a review of the concept.
The experience has built in ENL and special education modifications to allow all learners access to the curriculum (developed with a co-teacher). The experience has been tested and implemented with well over 100 students to ensure quality.
Lab station materials provided along with a student worksheet.
