D is for DIEt - Roseman
The purpose of this activity is to allow students to discover the relationship between nutrients, energy pathways, hormones, and metabolism.
Taking out the “Carbage”?-Turner
The purpose of this activity is to allow students to discern a nutritionally advantageous diet from one that has the potential of causing harm.
Bendable Bones – Crowder and Gillespie
This lesson engages students in exploring bone as a living tissue through observation of cow and chicken bones.
Brain Comparisons of Animals from the Five Vertebrate Classes – Hoots
Students observe and record similarities and differences among brains of animals from different vertebrate classes. Students gain an understanding of the basic five-part structure of the vertebrate brain by noting the modifications that take place in the basic brain structure as animals become more complex, as well as changes that reflect structural adaptation. Students also learn to organize observational data into comprehensive summary charts.
Using Concept Maps as Cooperative Learning Activities to Explore Hemodynamic Principles-Faculty version
The use of concept maps to address how linear presentation of information obscures the non-linear nature of the many interactions that occur, especially with respect to the relationships between pressure, flow and resistance, along with the various factors that control these entities.

Pulmonary and Renal Pressure-Flow Relationships: What Should Be Taught?
Symposium based on presumption that students have already learned about diffusion, osmosis, and the basic principles of cardiovascular physiology
PowerPoint for Pulmonary and Renal Pressure-Flow Relationships: What Should Be Taught?
This presentation models the usefulness of the general model of gradients and conductances in the physiology and pathophysiology of the respiratory and renal systems. Examples of pressure-flow-resistance and concentration-flux relationships are provided along with ideas for active-learning activities and figures appropriate for undergraduate physiology classes.
