STEM Prep Project
Health Track Content
The STEM Prep Health materials are orgnized in eight stations.
Stations are labeled to match the four types of energy systems (movers) operating in the human body and in all industrial systems: Mechanical, Fluid, Thermal and Electrical.
There are two stations under each system. Each station is made up of three modules: Lab, Communications (Reading, Writing, and Computer), and Math.
After enrollment, orientation, testing, and placement, students select a station as a starting point, going through all modules in that station and then proceeding to the next, until all stations are complete.
The lab unit in each station provides instructions for students to complete hands-on activities related to the type of system covered in each station.
Following are links to the instructions and presentations related to each station in the Health Track.
Fluid Station 1.1: Blood Pressure
=============
Fluid Station 1.2: I.V. Therapy
=============
Mechanical Station 2.1: Range of Motion
=============
Mechanical Station 2.2: Levers and Muscle Contractions
=============
Thermal Station 3.1: How the Body Regulates its Temperature
=============
Thermal Station 3.2: How the Body Regulates its Temperature Sensation
=============
Electrical Station 4.1: Action Potentials and Muscle Contraction
