But I can let them do an experiment and learn scientific method. I always have extra ingredients to mess with their thoughts. Have them convert to metric to practice. ]]> 2022-07-29 15:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251804825 NurseNancy https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251815110 I think of myself as a Golgi Apparatus, I get kids packaged and sent out to work.  
Here is a game to try

I usually do Cell-fies.  Using clay create a 2 dimensional cell with the organelles.  I give them a list, and they have to have their picture taken and then they have to identify and describe functions.  ]]> 2022-07-29 16:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251815110 NurseNancy https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251817598 We do facial day.  All the kids bring ingredients or pre-made products.  We discuss the reasoning behind the ingredients and also do some myth busting.  
And I found a helpful skin color video. ]]> 2022-07-29 16:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251817598 NurseNancy https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251822146 I made decks of cards to play spoons.  (I was home for 8 weeks of medical leave)

I put up a Snellen chart, show them how to use otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes. I do this activity traveling from station to station ]]> 2022-07-29 16:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251824132 NurseNancy https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251831056 the 1 minute heart!  I am terrible at this.  But you may like it.  Here is another video

I score them on the official rubric, but their classmates use the easier one. ]]> 2022-07-29 17:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251832855 NurseNancy https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251833919 Kids love make/take activities.  
I also love using incentive spirometers, and peak flow meters...but until covid is minimal we just look at them and discuss.]]> 2022-07-29 17:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251833919 NurseNancy https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251835669 You know we have to pee in cups and use the dip sticks!  I have tried the Nebraska Scientific dialysis kit without success. I'll try again.

I also like doing smoothies, but it gets expensive if kids won't bring items. I quit doing it....]]> 2022-07-29 17:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251841349 NurseNancy https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251844439 there are so many things to use here. I show a puberty video that they might have watched in 6th grade. Year after year my kiddos tell me that it makes sense now, not back then. And yes it is cheesy, it's from 2002 and I have it on VHS!]]> 2022-07-29 17:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251844439 NurseNancy https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251846046 This is the instructions for the pregnancy journal.

This is so fun. We tried grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and watermelon; exploring is what the kiddos need. ]]> 2022-07-29 19:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/NurseNancy/Summit2022/wish/2251871973
