Station 1: Monitoring Your Heart
 - Blood Pressure & Heart Rate - how does
your body react to stimulus?

Station 2: Blood & Its Path
- Microviewers & Microscopes - blood and
blood vessels

Station 3: Heart in Your Hands
- Using models to describe structure and
function of circulatory system

Station 4: Changing Technology
- Article about the first recorded heart
surgery. Mini-research question on one
medical imaging technology used to
diagnose/treat issues in the heart
