A Kinesthetic Circulatory System Model for Teaching Fluid Dynamics
written by
Elizabeth K. Whitmore, David Grimm, Bradley Moser, Rebecca S. Lindell, and James Vesenka
Students often leave Introductory Physics for Life Science (ILPS) courses without a solid understanding of fluid dynamics, which is necessary for them to be successful in their future biology courses. In an effort to reconcile this issue, researchers at UNE have focused on improving students' understanding of the circulatory system. This requires students to apply multiple fluid dynamics concepts, specifically, conservation of mass and the Bernoulli and Hagen-Poiseuille Principles. The researchers developed a kinesthetic circulatory system model made of transparent plastic tubing of different radii and branched connectors. This hands-on model enabled students to see the fluid travel at different speeds (visually) and different pressures (using digital pressure sensors) similar to the cardiovascular system. Preliminary evaluation data from close-ended multiple-choice assessments and open-ended assessments indicates significant improvement in student understanding of conservation of mass and Bernoulli's principle and but little improvement of Hagen-Poiseuille's Principle.
