Have you ever wondered why your stomach turns upside down and you sweat when you’re taking a test, about to go on stage, or you see a snake in your path? Come join me and students ages 8-12 in The Amazing Human Body: What’s inside and how it works. Here is our class syllabus. • Greetings • Introduction to the 7 major body systems • How to take and record your pulse • How to take and record respirations • Let’s make lungs activity • The scare and the response • Work in partners comparing before and after numbers • Share your numbers • Diaphragmatic breathing practice • Q & A • Dismiss
Learning Goals
Students will learn through lively discussions, activities, and hands on practice how each of the following systems react to the fight or flight response: The Muscular System, the Skeletal System, the Nervous System, the Cardiovascular System, the Respiratory System, the Endocrine System, and the Digestive System.
By the end of class students will also know how to take their own pulse and respiratory rate as well as how to use diaphragmatic breathing to reverse the fight or flight response.
