Reflexes & Senses Lab Class
This laboratory is designed to help students develop their understanding of reflexes and sensory perception. It's a hands-on experience where students get to understand how our body responds quickly to various stimuli without us even thinking about it. They explore the concept of the 'reflex arc,' a neural pathway that makes these rapid responses possible.In the lab, students test different reflexes, like the knee-jerk reflex and achilles reflex. They measure how fast their body reacts when thei

This unit is designed to help students discover and understand their personal heart rate zones. Students will learn the difference between their Resting, Fat burning, Aerobic, Anaerobic, and VO2 Max heart rate. Through this unit, students will individually administer four different fitness tests in order to discover their VO2 max heart rate.By gathering this information about their VO2 max they will be able to then discover what their personal fitness heart training zones are.

Moldy Mess Lab: Health: Studying the Spread of Germs
The following product is a document I have used with junior high health as well as high school health (if they have not done the lab already). The only things the class needs for the lab is a loaf of bread and sandwich sized zip lock bags. It is best to get a fresh loaf of bread from a bakery because it will grow mold in a few days instead of a few weeks. Processed bread has more preservatives causing it to grow mold more slowly. Make sure you keep a few pieces of bread that have not been rubbed
