GROW 2002 Summer Workshop - Electric Signals

Presented By: Daniel Marcus, K-State Faculty

Many parts of our bodies (such as heart, skeletal muscles and nerves) produce electric signals. Other body functions (such as breathing) that do not directly produce their own electricity can be observed by producing electric signals through instruments. We can use both types of these signals as windows to observe our organs at work in order to understand how they function in health and disease. In this activity session, GROW girls built a simple electric circuit and used computerized electronic instruments to observe electric signals from their own bodies.
