College of Health Sciences Students Have PhUn at Hornedo Middle School
Students from UTEP’s undergraduate Rehabilitation Sciences program and the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Ph.D. program joined 7th graders at Hornedo Middle School for PhUn (PHysiology UNderstand) week, a nationwide annual event that encourages physiologists to engage local students in science explorations. Miners engaged the Hornedo Tornado’s in fun physiology-related activities. UTEP students used an electrocardiogram to teach the 7th graders about electrical impulses in their muscles. They also used electrodes to measure their reaction time while multitasking. Photos by J.R. Hernandez, UTEP Communications
