Instructional Ideas

  • Use the WebQuest "The Organ Trail" to reinforce items of which the class should have prior knowledge

  • Lab-based activities show a progression from novice to intermediate, giving pupils a sense of their growth in skill level
  • Provides strong correlations between the levels of organization and organ functions that are commonly known
