Human Physiology with Vernier
by Diana Gordon
Steven L. Gordon, M.D.
Human Physiology with Vernier contains 24 human physiology experiments for use with Vernier LabPro and Logger Pro 3.4. The experiments 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. The complete table of contents is shown on the right.
Each Vernier Lab Book includes:
-
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).
