Healthy Choices Enquire Now 🍎 Living World: Health & Human Physiology Healthy Choices Nutrition, Fitness Science and Body Systems How do our daily decisions impact our long-term health? This workshop bridges the gap between science and lifestyle, allowing students to investigate the pillars of a healthy body through evidence-based inquiry. From analyzing the chemistry of sugar to measuring heart-lung efficiency, students explore how diet and exercise function as biological fuel and maintenance. Students use professional tools to test their own physiology, including hand dynamometers for strength, resistance bands for flexibility, and balance boards. This data-driven approach helps them understand portion sizes, nutrient groups, and the biomechanics of coordination. Key Learning Areas: Nutrition Science: Break down sugars, fats, proteins, and fiber. Cardiovascular Health: Trace the link between the heart and lungs. Fitness Metrics: Measure flexibility, strength, and balance using pro tools. Coordination: Test hand-eye reactions and motor skills. 90-Min Extension: Includes pro agility testing, sprint mechanics, and reaction drills. Looking for a specific Body System focus?

Science workshop content What Students Experience: The Physiology Lab In this interactive health and science workshop, students move beyond the textbook to measure and analyze their own body’s performance. By combining physical activity with biological data, we make the science of “long-term health” tangible and engaging. 1. Cardiac Investigation We kick off with a high-energy cardio challenge to get the heart pumping. Students perform immediate pulse checks to understand heart rate recovery and the vital link between exercise and the cardiovascular system. 2. Hands-On Stations Students rotate through specialized testing zones. They measure grip strength using dynamometers, test flexibility with Sit & Reach boxes, analyze balance, and investigate the anatomy of bones and muscles. 3. The Nutritional Reveal We conclude with a powerful visual demonstration of “hidden” additives. Students see exactly how much sugar and salt are concealed in common snacks, providing a scientific basis for making better dietary choices. 🏆 90-Minute Sports Science Expansion: Agility & Reaction: Pro-level agility testing and “Fancy Footwork” drills to test the nervous system’s response to external stimuli.
