Risk Continuum

Risk Continuum

This activity is a whole-group kinesthetic demonstration that shows learners what it means to be in a "risk group" for developing heart disease based on family history and genetics. Learners line up to represent a continuum, ranging from those who are at most at risk for developing heart disease to those who are least at risk.
