Stress Jenga

After discussing how our bodies react to stressors according to hormone levels such as cortisol, adernaline and norepinephrine, 7th graders played Jenga to get a first hand example of the stress response.  Students chose cards with different life situations that told them how many blocks to remove, then had to work through the stress of it to keep their tower up-right.
