Human Physiology with Vernier

Human Physiology with Vernier contains 24 experiments designed to encourage students to think about the physiology of various human organ systems.

Description

The experiments inside Human Physiology with Vernier are designed to encourage students to think about the physiology of various human organ systems by measuring the activity of the upper respiratory tract, the lungs, the heart, the nervous system, and the musculoskeletal system.

Homeostasis is an underlying theme, and several experiments illustrate the response of the human body to stress or external influences.

Included with Human Physiology with Vernier

  • Complete student experiments with materials list, step-by-step instructions, data tables, and questions.
  • Teacher Information section for each experiment with complete directions for setting up experiments, helpful hints, and sample graphs and data.
  • Word-processing files of the student sections on a CD so that any experiment may be easily edited to your specifications (Microsoft Word for Macintosh and Windows files).
  • CD includes instructions to perform the experiments on computers with:
    • LabQuest
    • LabPro

Features listed above are only available when you purchase the lab book. The downloadable evaluation PDFs include student instructions only.
