Need an activity that is engaging, hands on, requires critical thinking and peer collaboration? THIS IS IT! This is a great lab that utilizes all of these and would be great for an observation! This lab will walk through the scientific method steps, research and analyze the properties of water and other liquids. Students can see how the molecules of each liquid will react with substances. Once the experiment is completed and the students have their results, they collaborate with two other groups and record their results to compare. This eliminates having to do the experiment more than once, although I do emphasize that in an experiment, results need to be able to be repeated for it to be considered proven.

This can be used as an introductory lab for water properties for older students.

This interactive and comprehensive resource helps students master essential EMT and paramedic terminology while reinforcing the importance of accurate documentation in emergency medical services. Through engaging 911 call scenarios, students will practice filling out critical EMS paperwork, such as Patient Care Reports (PCR), Refusal of Care Forms, and Incident Timeline Forms. By using realistic 911 scenarios, students will gain practical experience in documenting patient care, vital signs, and treatment interventions.

What’s Included:

• Vocabulary Terms & Definitions: A list of essential EMS-related vocabulary words (e.g., "Airway Obstruction," "CPR"), complete with definitions.
• Sentence Creation & Drawing: Students will use each term in a sentence and create a drawing to visually reinforce the meaning of each word.
• 6 Realistic 911 Scenarios: Students are presented with six detailed 911 call scenarios that reflect real-life situations such as cardiac arrests, trauma, and patient refusals.
• Critical EMS Paperwork: After reviewing the scenarios, students will complete Patient Care Reports (PCR), Refusal of Care Forms, and Incident Timeline Forms based on the provided information.
• Critical Thinking Questions: After completing the paperwork, students will answer reflection questions on the importance of accurate documentation and the role of EMTs and paramedics in patient care.

Why This Resource Is Valuable:

• Real-World Application: Students will learn how EMS professionals use specific terminology and complete essential paperwork in real-life emergencies.
• Hands-On Learning: Combining writing, drawing, and critical thinking, this activity is designed to engage students and help them retain key vocabulary and concepts.
• Essential Documentation Skills: Students will develop the ability to complete crucial forms like the PCR, which are vital in patient care and legal protection for EMS providers.
• Collaboration & Teamwork: Designed for group or partner work, this resource fosters teamwork and encourages students to discuss, analyze, and complete the necessary forms together.

Perfect For:

• High School Health Science Classes
• EMT & Paramedic Training Programs
• Health Occupations Pathways

Help your students bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world EMS practice with this engaging, hands-on activity! This resource is an excellent way to teach essential vocabulary, documentation skills, and teamwork—all necessary for future healthcare careers.
