About PhUn Week: FAQs
Do we have to plan for exactly the first week in November?
A: Whatever dates are most convenient for you and the teacher in the month of November.
If it can't be logistically be done in November, reach out whenever you are able to during the school year!
How many days does a physiologist/team need to visit?
A: At least once, preferably as part of the teacher's days or week of instruction on physiology.
Can a research team bring animal research models into the classroom?
A: Be wary! Ensure that you follow your institution's IACUC protocols,
as well as the school's policy, and be sensitive to those with allergies or other animal issues.
Does a PhUn activity have to be done by the teacher every day for a whole week?
A: A daily PhUn Week activity would be ideal.
However, the teacher should incorporate physiology activities as appropriate to his/her curricular goals.
Try for at least 3 out of 5 days in the week.
Can a physiologist invite a class to visit his/her laboratory?
A:
What a great idea! This would be a good follow-up activity for near the end of the school year.
However, be aware of your institution's policy on visitors/school groups in research labs.
Also, be aware that this requires a lot of lead time and planning
with the teacher for permission slips and school bus arrangements.
What more can an APS Member do to reach out to science teachers in the local area?
A: Consider establishing a Local Outreach Team! See:
