Abstract: Physiological phenomena occurring at the subcellular level can be difficult for novices to envision. Kinesthetic learning exercises intended to illustrate the events occurring during these processes may help students grasp such concepts. Here, the author describes three specific kinesthetic learning exercises developed to help clarify: (1) actions of enzymes in biochemical pathways, (2) the myriad events occurring during DNA replication, and (3) the effect of myelination on the speed at which an action potential is propagated down the length of an axon. In addition to potentially clarifying concepts, these exercises may be helpful in refreshing or refocusing student attention during the class period. The three kinesthetic learning exercises described here require little of the instructor in terms of time, materials, or preparation. However, modification may be warranted due to classroom constraints or other limitations.
