Adventure Learning Inside Humans – TSP
BIO 1 - LIFE SCIENCE :
Structure & Function
Total Unit Running Time: 35-45* minutes
FIELD TRIP: Hierarchy Of Multicellular Organisms
Running Time: 7:44
NGSS: HS-LS1-2
Join VVR Host, Steve Grubbs, as he travels to Mexico and Singapore to demonstrate the hierarchy of interrelated systems in multicellular organisms. Focusing on plant life examples: the banyan trees in a Mexican bay, as well as various plant life abounding in Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay, students
will have a better grasp about the connectedness of internal systems, their impacts on one another, and their role in helping the organism survive. For more information on the Singapore gardens, visit here.
INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE : Virus Alert! Investigating The Flu
Running Time: Self-paced*
NGSS: HS-LS1-3
Over the course of the exam, students will learn about homeostasis and its importance to the human body. As each symptom manifests within the patient, an oversized brain highlights which part is regulating the body’s response. Simultaneously, a “doctor” explains the why of each scenario.
