This is an interdisciplinary study that includes math, anatomy, social interaction modeling/ learning. and critical thinking to successfully

understand cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), to identify when it should be used and how to

apply it.Students will be provided with learning materials

and learning tasks that include web sites to reinforce handout printed materials, CPR

mannequins, defribulators, individual, group and class learning tasks. With the opportunity to

become certified in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation students will acquire the ability

through further critical thinking, to understand the importance of CPR as a lifelong education of

lifesaving value.

MATH – Students will learn how timing and counting can keep a heart pumping and save a life.

ANATOMY – Students will learn critical areas of human anatomy and how it specifically applies to using Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

SOCIAL INTERACTION MODELING AND LEARNING- Students will learn how to identify an individual in need of CPR through social interaction scenarios.

CRITICAL THINKING- Students will gain a keen understanding how knowledge of what CPR is, when to use it and the life saving results it provides at hand is an exercise in critical thinking.

Students will learn the physiological concept of CPR.

Students will be able to recognize characteristics of a person in need of CPR.

Students will become CPR certified. Students will understand the

importance of CPR. Students will be introduced to

Automated External Defibrillators (AED).

What body parts or organs are affected during CPR? Identifying circulatory system, heart, lungs, blood vessels, carotid artery, coronary arteries.

How do the body parts/organs work together to resuscitate a person?

Compare and contrast a person who is unconscious to one in need of CPR.

What are the steps in giving CPR? Why is being CPR certified important? What are the legal aspects of providing CPR? Why are protective devises - gloves and masks used? What is prevention about? (i.e.) healthy lifestyle, choking

hazards, safety concerns. What is the response procedure when encountering someone

who needs help? (i.e.) assess responsiveness, call EMS, check scene for safety.

How do you perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver)?

How are chest compressions and ventilations. five cycles of 30:2, push hard push fast performed?

How is a pulse (although that is optional in the new protocols) taken?

What are the differences between adult, child, and infant?- introduction to AED- what leads to cpr success. early recognition, early ems, early

defibrillation- doing something is better then doing nothing don't get caught up in the numbers

Research the body parts/organs involved and how they work together when applying the steps of CPR and take notes.

Document the steps of CPR. Document 10 testimonials of CPR victims. Document how, when, and where to get

CPR certified. Write an essay on why CPR is important to

learn, addressing the impact on saved victims and their families.

Join your research and create a presentation outlining the steps of CPR, and highlighting how the body parts/organs work during the process.

Discuss symptoms of a person in need of CPR.

Pick 5 of the best testimonials from each group member and create an illustrated storybook of the victims and their families.

Discuss with your group--how, when, and where you plan on getting CPR certified.

Pass around the group storybooks of testimonials.

Present scenarios of potential victims, and as a class, decide on if CPR should be applied.

Discuss the relationship of timing and counting to the CPR process.

Practice the steps of CPR on a mannequin, then be ready to demonstrate in front of the class.

Students will draw conclusions in the following areas:

1. Why resuscitation skills are important in their own life.

2. What skills are needed to provide the greatest chance of survival and how to obtain and maintain these skills.

3. Students will also complete CPR certification requirements.

Brainstorming Consensus Research Process Resources

Students, individually and then in groups will develop a list of situations that may require CPR.

Students will determine reasons that CPR could be important to themselves personally.

Define the group task Clarify the group objective Determine tasks that will lead to

project completion Assign tasks to group members Determine class presentation

roles

Students will use multimedia resources to research their assigned tasks

Students will be given a St. John’s Ambulance CPR/AED student reference guide

Students will be provided with a list of internet web addresses relevant to CPR

Students will have access to the St. John’s First on the Scene DVD

Each group will be provided CPR mannequins to aid in practice.

The Web Quest “To Save A Life” – Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation presents an interdisciplinary study that

includes math, anatomy, social interaction modeling/learning. and

critical thinking to successfully understand cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), to identify when it should be used and how

to apply it.. With learning materials and learning tasks that first focuses

on experiencing learning through accessing web sites, students gain understanding of the value of electronic

learning. The web information is reinforced with handout printed materials, hands-on experience practicing life-saving

scenarios using CPR mannequins and defribulators. Participating in individual, group and class learning tasks ,

students are provided with in-depth driving questions to make the Web Quest a focused, well-rounded and valuable learning

experience. With the opportunity to become certified in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation students will acquire the ability

through further critical thinking, to understand the importance of CPR as a lifelong education of lifesaving value.
