20. Techniques Ponder This
Sprinkled throughout the chapters, offers opportunities to break-out into team investigations or discussion
Example
What do you think is the most commonly broken bone in the human body? Share your response with your classmates, along with an explanation for your reasoning.
Answer found in the instructors book

21. Techniques Ponder This
The clavicle is the most commonly broken bone in the human body. It is very close to the skin and can be injured in a variety of ways. The most common way the clavicle is injured are by sports injuries (direct hit) or a fall.
Other common fractures are the arm, wrist, ankle and hip….

22. Techniques Inquiring Minds
Thought provoking questions, mini-labs, tid-bits of information
Example-Have you ever heard of noise induced hearing loss (NIHI)? On a daily basis we experience sound in our environment, from television, radios, machinery etc…Usually these sounds are at safe level and don’t damage your hearing, but sounds can be harmful when they are too loud, even for short periods of time….Consider what activities you do on a daily basis that be affecting your hearing and compare them to our list.

23. Techniques Inquiring Minds
Example continued- mini lab examples from Ch. 4
Finger print analysis- inherited or random patterns
Skin the body’s natural covering, acts like a glove. To better understand one of the most important function of the skin activity:
Materials needed : glove, bowl, hot water, pepper and scissors

24. Techniques Search the Source - research current events - Examples
There are more than 30 different types of Muscular Dystrophy, but Duchenne muscular dystrophy tops the list. Working with a partner, visit the National Institutes of Health (NIH) website and research facts about DMD. What is it? What are the common signs and symptoms? How does DMD develop? What is its prevalence?

25. Techniques Team Challenge
Mini-labs or research with a hint of team competition
Example from the Respiratory System (need index cards)
“Take a Deep Breath” :Working in teams, write the names of the respiratory system organs/structures listed below on separate index cards. One student shuffles the cards and hands out to each student. Next arrange yourself in a line to show the correct sequence before the other team does.
Now Exhale

26. Techniques
Case Study
Simulated patient study with “Your Turn” section to engage students in their own thoughts on how to handle the situations
Followed up with Medical Record Practice

27. Techniques Student Challenge
Fun, interactive, engaging activities to allow students to share and shine
Example from Ch 10 Special Senses
In this activity students will work in pairs to perform modified version of the “Stereognosis exam”
Some materials required …

28. Techniques Fascinating Facts
