Part of Conservation of Energy and Applications to the Human Body (BMP)

Part 1 of 4

Highlights: Energy Conservation in the Body - how does our body convert energy? A student centered, active-learning study of energy conservation.

Abstract: Conservation of Energy and Applications to the Human Body is the fifth chapter of an active learning, fully ADAPTABLE, biomedically relevant curriculum designed for pre-health students. Designed to enhance students' ability to conceptualize energy transfers in an isolated system in various scenarios, the curriculum culminates in applications of mechanical efficiency, metabolism and conservation of energy in the body. Included: Active Reading Text, Biology Professor Videos on Energy Transfer in Cellular Respiration, Learning Activities & Assessment Questions. Suggestions for classroom use are included in the INTRODUCTION document.
