Students kit My body, my health
Investigating Body Functions, Senses and Health
Age: 11–14 years
Materials: for 1 working group or demonstration
Use: Student experiments on body functions, sensory perception, movement and health-related topics
With the Students kit My body, my health, students investigate the human body and fundamental body functions through practical activities. The set is suitable for one working group and can also be used for classroom demonstrations.
The students' own bodies provide a direct basis for investigation. They observe physical responses, explore different forms of sensory perception, and investigate connections between body functions, movement and health.
The practical activities allow students to explore biological processes through their own observations and measurements rather than studying them only in theory. In this way, topics from human biology can be directly connected with questions relating to health and well-being.
The two plastic cups are placed upside down on the table. The plastic strip is placed flat on the bottoms of the cups at both ends. The ends should rest about 1 cm on the bottoms.
It is observed how far the plastic strip bends without load.
The students examine the taste cells of the tongue with four different liquids.
