Brief is below:
We are running a programme called Phenomenal Physiology. This involves Year 10 students who take part in a series of weekly workshops, focussing on different areas of physiology each week. Each week, a different topic is covered:
Week 1: Heart Function
Week 2: Muscle Function
Week 3: Respiratory Function
As part of the workshop, students must:
Come up with a hypothesis
Carry out an experiment to test their hypothesis
Record and analyse their results
Write up their conclusions
In weeks 4 and 5, the students focus on creating a scientific poster which they will present at the Phenomenal Physiology Conference to academics at UEL. The conference day also includes a tour of the facilities, a question and answer session with ambassadors, and a talk on careers in Medical Physiology.
The aims of the project are:
To increase students’ awareness of medical physiology as a degree.
Raise awareness of careers in physiology.
Support young people to attain good Science grades at GCSE level.
Provide a role model from UEL and increase knowledge of higher education.
Encourage the continued study of science into A level / BTEC with a view to progress into HE.
The long-term aim of this project is to encourage those from underrepresented backgrounds in HE to go on to higher education / UEL.
UEL students will be recruited from BSc medical physiology course and trained to deliver the workshops using the workbooks to capture scientific learning and conceptual understanding.
