This is a collaborative task that can be modified to be accomplished by students in both the face to face and the virtual environment. The task involves researching chronic medical conditions and evaluating data provided in a case study in order to make conclusions about potential disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Using the stethoscope to check blood pressure is a technique thatŐs been used for >100 years! Blood pressure is one of the major vital signs frequently measured by health care workers, and it tells us a lot about our blood circulation. Learn what blood pressure is, how it relates to resistance in a tube, why it is necessary to get oxygen to your cells, and how it can change as you age. WeŐll finally put it all together by relating pressure, flow, and resistance in one awesome equation!

The human body enjoys stability. For example, if your blood pressure changes, the body puts a couple of brilliant systems into motion in order to respond and bring your blood pressure back to normal. There are some quick responses using nerves and some slower responses using hormones. The system using hormones is sometimes called the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS), which is the main system in the body for controlling blood pressure. When your blood pressure drops too low or gets too high, your kidneys, liver, and pituitary gland (part of your brain) talk to each other to solve the problem. They do this without you even noticing! Learn how the body knows when the blood pressure has changed, and how hormones like angiotensin 2, aldosterone, and ADH help return blood pressure to back to normal.

No organ quite symbolizes love like the heart. One reason may be that your heart helps you live, by moving ~5 liters (1.3 gallons) of blood through almost 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) of blood vessels every single minute! It has to do this all day, everyday, without ever taking a vacation! Now that is true love. Learn about how the heart works, how blood flows through the heart, where the blood goes after it leaves the heart, and what your heart is doing when it makes the sound ŇLub DubÓ.

This lesson should be used as practice after students have had experience with ratio tables, graphing points, and determining proportional relationships. On slides 1-4 students are given a situation, then they complete the ratio table, graph the coordinates, and determine if the relationship is proportional. On slides 5-7 students are given graphs and asked to determine if it represents proportional relationships, and explain why. On slide 8 students are given written situations and asked to determine if they represent proportional relationships and explain their reasoning. This lesson was created with Jamboard to provide teachers and students with real time collaboration.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
In this activity, students will use different strategies to help understand and represent ratios.

This lab safety quiz is in the form of a powerpoint presentation so it can be given to the whole class at once. I use the at the beginning of the very next class after we have gone over the lab safety agreement. There are 5 true/false questions and 5 short answer. Students can use their own lined paper to take the quiz. The first 10 slides contain the questions only. After students have finished the questions, have them trade papers for grading and then the last 10 slides contain the answers so you can grade together as a class.
