Guided Problem Based Laboratories and Pure Problem Based Laboratories for LabTutor 3

LabTutor PBL Laboratories give students the freedom, flexibility and resources to ask their own physiological questions and design experiments to answer them.

The LabTutor experiments listed below are for teaching institutions using PBL techniques to teach life science through laboratory practicals.

You can select either the Guided PBL Laboratory experiments, which are designed as a simple introduction to PBL, or the self-directed PBL Laboratories that are designed to be integrated into PBL-based courses.

Guided Problem Based Laboratories

Introduction to LabTutor	Familiarization with LabTutor software and PowerLab hardware. Basic features of acquisition, analysis and reporting are covered using LabTutor.
Guided PBL - Blood Pressure	Students will measure blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and microphone or stethoscope. They will then apply these techniques to test their own experimental hypothesis. LabTutor will allow them to analyze and display their results as they choose using self-defined tables and graphs.
Guided PBL - ECG & Pulse	In this experiment, students will measure the finger pulse and correlate it with the ECG. They will then apply these techniques to test their own experimental hypothesis. LabTutor will allow them to analyze and display their results as they choose using self-defined tables and graphs.
Guided PBL - Electromyography (EMG)	In this experiment students will learn the technique of Electromyography. They will first examine electrical activity (voluntary activity, coactivation) in the biceps and triceps muscles followed by applying these techniques to test their own experimental hypothesis. LabTutor will allow them to analyze and display their results as they choose using self-defined tables and graphs.
Guided PBL - Respiratory Air Flow and Volume	In this laboratory students will be introduced to spirometry as a technique for recording respiratory variables. They will record and analyze lung volumes and capacities, as well as design their own experiment to examine some aspect of respiratory air flow and volume.

Pure Problem Based Laboratories

PBL - Blood Pressure	This problem based laboratory allows students to design up to three experiments measuring chosen aspects of human blood pressure. It uses a cardio microphone placed over the brachial artery to allow visualization of the first and fifth Korotkoff sounds, along with a sphygmomanometer to display pressure.
PBL - ECG & Pulse	In this problem based laboratory students will learn how to measure both the electrocardiogram (ECG) and peripheral pulse. They will then apply these techniques to test up to three of their own experimental hypotheses. LabTutor will allow them to analyze and display their results as they choose using self-defined tables and graphs.
PBL - Electromyography (EMG)	In this problem based laboratory students will learn how to measure the electromyogram (EMG). They will then apply these techniques to test up to three of their own experimental hypotheses. LabTutor will allow them to analyze and display their results as they choose using self-defined tables and graphs.
PBL - Respiratory Air Flow and Volume	In this problem based laboratory students will learn techniques of spirometry to measure respiratory variables. They will then apply these techniques to test up to three of their own experimental hypotheses. LabTutor will allow them to analyze and display their results as they choose using self-defined tables and graphs.
