STEM HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE WEEK OF November 14, 2016
Therapeutic Services Pathway
Our STEM students in the Therapeutic (Medical) cluster are studying the body systems this week.
Presently, we are studying the Digestive System. Students are getting insight into how what they put
into their bodies has a direct correlation to how their bodies look and feel. We started with the
anatomy and physiology of the digestive system. Then we studied medical terms and abbreviations,
from Quizlet, associated with this system. We learned how to perform correct heights and weights
on each other to determine our correct BMI and make adjustments in our eating and exercise
habits accordingly. All in all, this chapter was quite beneficial to the students because it gave them
information that they can use immediately.
