The Anatomy and Physiology Course Overview with Lesson Links!
I teach anatomy and physiology to juniors and seniors in high school. Most of my students are interested in pursuing education in health fields. I have maintained a class site for over a decade, but the move to using Google classroom has those pages seeing less views. I no longer need to send them links to my page when all of their course materials are located in Google Classroom.
I have had several requests for the full curriculum with guidelines on time spent for each topic. So I created a Google doc which charts each unit, the slides and notes I provide students and learning activities.
I present: The Anatomy and Physiology Course Overview with Lesson Links!
At a Glance
The course is organized by topics (cells, tissues, systems, etc..) Each unit includes a link to Google Slides which is presented in lecture format. Students are given notes as a handout with information they fill in as we go. These packets also include short exercises to reinforce concepts.
There are many activities and worksheets listed under each topic. I don’t usually do all of them. Anyone who has taught for a long time tends to accumulate resources. We keep them around for students who might need extra support. We keep them for days that are thrown off by a fire drill or school assembly. We have multiples because some years we might just want to do something different. That being said, keep in mind that this is an extensive collection and I don’t always do everything on the list.
The Details
I also have included specialized resources for my honors students. Anatomy is regular track class, but has an honors section embedded within it. For the most part, these students do the exact same thing as the overall class. Then, they have additional work that is usually done outside of class. Resources marked with a unicorn š¦ are honors assignments.
I use a lot of case studies in this class. Many are embedded within the lecture slides as a way to build understanding around a particular health condition, like cystic fibrosis. Other cases are intended for students to work on together in small groups, like Diaper Drama, which explores a case of a baby born with duplicate ureters. For a final assignment, honors students must create their own case study š¦.
You are welcome to use any of these resources and edit them to fit your class and needs. To edit these documents, you will need to go to the file menu and “make a copy.” This puts a version on your drive which can be changed without altering my original.
I do not include assessments with this document because it is freely available to students and other teachers. Tests and Quizzes can be purchased from Teachers Pay Teachers.

First of all – thank you so much for this! I’m teaching Anatomy again after several years away – I plan to use many of your ideas!
Secondly, your link to your Teachers Pay Teachers quizzes and assessments doesn’t link to any items for purchase. Can you direct me to this resource? I’d like to buy and look at these before school begins.
Thank you!

Here is the link to the store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Biologycorner
I put answer keys on TpT, but all the worksheets on biologycorner are free.

Thank you,
I have been using some of these for a few years, they are excellent. Now I have a nice summary document to look at,
Julian
You are so incredibly generous. Thank you for sharing these resources.
Jennifer
I just cannot thank you enough times!!!
Christine Jumper
do you have an answer key to your worksheets
Admin
I do have a few answer keys posted on TpT, but most worksheets are just for practice (low level questions that can be easily googled).

I am a first year A& P teacher and have found this resource so helpful!!
Thank you!
This morning I tried to connect to the tissue link and it no longer works, can you help me out?
Kris
I love all your resources! My students have done so much better with anatomy since incorporating more of this material into the lessons. I was looking at your semester 1 anatomy study guide and the link didn’t load. Is there anywhere else this would be located?
Thanks for all you do!

Here’s the study guide I’m currently using. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NMOqD1yiRyi5nYmljlwZV25y7YxKeu_GX4ZYaXH5c4c/edit?usp=share_link

Thank you for organizing and sharing all of this! I am digging through the slides and noticed that the tissue slide link is broken or deleted. Can you share the updated version? Thanks!
