Mentors Mentors will provide support to their mentees in terms of skill development, knowledge sharing, networking and career guidance. Students are expected to observe and learn from their mentors, seek advice from them on research projects, participate in their mentor's project if interested, and discuss career and service opportunities available to them. Our global health mentors are an invaluable resource available to all students on campus. View Our Current Global Health Mentors Back-to top

Osmosis Demonstration Lab Objectives The student will: 1) Observe the effects of different concentrations of salt solutions on potato cores. 2) Infer the relationship between weight loss and rate of osmosis. 3) Use a line graph to display data and draw conclusions. 4) Observe plasmolysis in Elodea. Background Osmosis is the process whereby water moves across a cell membrane by diffusion. Diffusion takes place when the molecules of a substance tend to move from areas of higher concentration

1 Responses to Static (Isometric) Exercise Suggestions for Teachers Background Static exercise involves the contraction of skeletal muscle without a change in muscle length, hence the alternative term, isometric (iso = same, meter = length) exercise. Static exercise produces a cardiovascular response that differs significantly from that observed during dynamic exercise. Typical examples of static exercise include athletic events such as weight lifting, shot put, hammer throw, and everyday

1 What Effects Does Exercise Have on You? Suggestions for Teachers Purpose To explore the responses of the heart and blood pressure to exercise Objectives 1) To learn how to take a pulse and blood pressure reading 2) To learn how heart rate responds to exercise 3) To learn how blood pressure responds to exercise Materials • 16" high bench or step • blood pressure cuff (sphygmomanometer) • stethoscope • Graph paper, poster board or overhead transparencies to make heart rate and blood
