Fight or flight?

This A3 printable features a human body and is a great resource to print and laminate for best value and use. It is a double sided resource, though can be printed and used to make a display poster highlighting the body in its 2 states of relaxation and anxiety.

On one side a group talks about what it feels like to be relaxed - how they feel physiologically and mentally and then they flip it over and think about a time they felt scared or anxious (perhaps reacting to a phobic stimulus) and they populate this side with how they feel physiologically and mentally.

A nice starter task to the endocrine system, rather than a part of the topic - if you use this initially you can get them thinking about bodily changes before you even get on to the more in depth details of the endocrine system and the fight or flight response.

You could go back to this later on and revisit the task when you get to the endocrine system and draw out the important sites within the endocrine system.
