Muscles: Guided Learning
This activity was created for distance learning during the 2020 pandemic as a substitution for traditional dissections and lessons that involve identifying the muscles and their function. Each slide has descriptions and images with a task for students to perform, such as labeling a diagram (based on the description) or answering questions about the muscles.…

Learn the Anatomy of the Eye
This labeling activity was designed for remote learners so that students can practice identifying the anatomical structures of the eye. The activity was made with Google slides so that students can move the text boxes to the numbers on the labels. The image of the eye shows major structures, like the cornea, lens, fovea centralis,…

Learn the Anatomy of the Ear
In this activity, students learn about the ear by exploring google slides and going to an interactive site that explores how the ear works. Students use a simulation called “The Interactive Ear” which guides them though the outer, middle, and inner ear while explaining what each structure does. Students click through the virtual ear to…

Investigation: Concussions
This investigation is completed by watching videos and analyzing data on concussions. Students first watch a Ted-Ed video on what happens when you have a concussion. The digital handout contains questions from the video. Students then visit neuroanatomy.ca where they view coronal brain slices. Then they label an image and compare a normal brain versus…

Neuroglia Labeling with Google Slides
Save paper by assigning labeling worksheets on Google Classroom. Instead of writing in labels, students drag and drop the labels to the appropriate area on the image. The labeling focuses on the neuron and supporting neuroglia (or glial) cells. These cells provide provide physical and metabolic support to neurons. Neuroglia cells are different from nerve…

Muscles Labeling
This activity is aligned to my anatomy and physiology curriculum where students study the structure and function of muscle tissues. This has been a challenging topic to cover remotely because I can’t use traditional models. Typically, I would use straws and rubber bands to model fascicles and myofibrils. This activity is part of a unit…
