What educators are saying

I used this in my human physiology class with groups of three. The kids loved how fast paced it was and how fast their system was changing! I think it put into perspective how complex the human body can be for them
The kids LOVED this. I did the set up and allowed them to get the cold water themselves (I provided the hot water from my kettle). It took them about 15 minutes and then the post questions another 10 minutes.

Description

A fun homeostasis lab with Homer! Can your students keep Homer alive for 5 minutes? This lab works well when discussing the characteristics of life, or studying homeostasis in more detail. Homeostasis is traditionally a tricky concept to teach. This is a memorable and successful way to finally get this central need of life across to students with a fun challenge. It's tried and tweaked, easy to resource and links the lab to the way their bodies work. It can work as the starting activity to any level of biology or physiology course, within the characteristics of life unit at the start of biology or within your discussions of homeostasis in anatomy and physiology.
