Homeostasis

Fun way to introduce the topic

Really useful idea, thank you. Although the triathlete one I agree with the below reviewer is not correct. I think the slide is implying the wetsuit is causing hyperthermia, but that is unlikely according to the research. The asylum seekers did suffocate, which is certainly a disturbance to homeostasis. I added some other slides to include blood sugar disturbances that had been in the news (people being overdosed on insulin, or drinking too much fizzy drink).

The first two slides are about temperature which is fine. But marathon runners collapse due to blood pooling in their legs after intense and prolonged running, not dehydration which I imagine is what is intended by the slide. The slide about the tri athlete talks about hyperthermia, but that is over heating, surely it should be hypothermia? And presumably the asylum seekers suffocated? Nothing to do with homeostasis.

I like it, but where are the answers? I need to make sure I'MMM getting them right myself! lol

Thought provoking starter activity. Thank you!
