Chang, Young Hui, and Sandra Latourelle. The Physiology Behind How Blood Vessels Work. N.p.: Cornell Institute for Biology Teachers, 2004. PDF. This laboratory investigates blood flow mechanisms by creating a Windkessel and Aneurysm Model. This model is similar to the one that I created. This document also provides example teacher guides and student worksheets for lesson/laboratory. Harvard University. "Harvard Natural Sciences Lecture Demonstrations." N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Sept. 2017. This demonstration is a great example of a simple hemodynamics demonstration. This webpage also contains information about LaPlace's Law and its connection to aneurysms. This type of demonstration was included in the presentation. Klabunde, Richard. "Hemodynamics (Pressure, Flow, and Resistance)." N.p., 2016. Web. 22 Sept. 2017. This webpage has general information on hemodynamics from an introductory perspective. The webpage introduces Ohm's law which leads into the change in pressure, resistance, and force and connects it with blood flow. There is an entire section on hemodynamics and continues the discussion on Poiseuille's law. This helped generate the lesson plan and better inform me about the physics concepts. Letić, Milorad. "Feeling wall tension in an interactive demonstration of Laplace's law." N.p., 01 June 2012. Web. 22 Sept. 2017. Another demonstration for LaPlace's Law. This paper is written for academia but describes the steps for their balloon demonstration which is a section of my demonstration as well. Lumen Learning. "Blood Flow, Blood Pressure, and Resistance." N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Sept. 2017. A clear lesson on blood flow, blood pressure, and resistance through a textbook-type language and format. There is key information on blood pressure and the connection to Poiseuille's equation. Furthermore, it discusses the roles of vessel diameter, the total area in blood flow, and blood pressure which provides further information for the entire lesson plan. Nave, R. "Poiseuille's Law." N.p., 2016. Web. 22 Sept. 2017. A short yet detailed webpage on Poiseuille’s Law with relevant blood flow examples. This will help with creating example problems and explaining Poiseuille’s law using formulas. This website was reviewed when creating the lesson plan. Thometz, Nicole. Circulatory Systems II. N.p.: University of California, 2012. PPT. This PowerPoint covers important topics of the proposed lesson plan. The physics of circulatory systems, radius and resistance in the system, controlling flow, pressure, and blood flow are all simplified through an easy to read online document. This was helpful when designing my PowerPoint slides for the students. UBC. "Mini-Lessons Basics/Model for Planning Lessons (Teaching and Learning)." N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Sept. 2017. This Wiki is created by UBC and discusses basic information on lesson plans. The teaching and learning section has models for creating lesson plans as well as helpful information when creating learning objectives. University, Carnegie Mellon. "Bloom's Taxonomy-Teaching Excellence & Educational Innovation." N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Sept. 2017. This webpage goes through Bloom's Taxonomy and the way it categorizes educational objectives. This is the model that I used when creating my learning objectives. University of Notre Dame. "Pressure System of the Body." N.p., 2003. Web. 22 Sept. 2017. An overview of mathematical connections to the pressure conditions within the human body. It contains key problems, solutions, and information on applicable math and physics equations to the circulatory system. This document seems to be geared towards lower level undergraduates and is helpful for implementing the overview lesson for the demonstration. yet is easy enough to read for general interest. The book constrains itself mostly to existing science and projected technology.
