changes this year to improve your educational experience. It is our hope that we have made changes
to your benefit. We wish for you to gain the knowledge you desire, network with fellow EMS personnel,
make new friends, and enjoy the weekend. We also ask that you please share what you have learned from
the convention with your fellow providers and community members. Please continue to provide us with
your opinions and comments on your evaluations.

How do you help a kinesthetic learner ‘touch’ osmosis? Some subjects
just seem to have limited opportunity for a hands-on learning…not
anymore! Participants will leave this session inspired and equipped
with ideas that can be used immediately upon return to their classroom.
Adapted from Heather Davis’ “Great Ideas”. Use Cucumbers & salt
to show effects of hypertonic fluids and electrolyte disturbances.
Use Cotton Candy to visualize when a heart attack victim receives
thrombolytic. Utilize trendy music to enhance understanding of the
cardiovascular system and other concepts. Use audience participation
(via improvisation/role play) to convey the importance of body language
when teaching communication techniques and scene awareness. And
much, much more! This session is fast paced and will guarantee to have
the participant walk away with some great ideas for their classroom and
a renewed outlook on education.
Objectives:
• Use corn syrup and cola to differentiate hyperglycemic
states
• Use ingredients from an average kitchen cupboard to
increase the understanding of pH and Acids and Bases
• List at least three new ideas for implementing kinesthetic
applications in the classroom
• Learn some never before used acronyms to use in your
classroom for assessments and skills applications
• Use playdoh, pipe cleaners, and widgets to increase your
retention of verbal information.
• Have fun and get inspired
