The Human Body
Further Your Knowledge
Ask your parents if you may sign up for a free account at the BioDigital Human for awesome interactive, 3-D digital views of the human body. I highly suggest you check it out!
An interactive site for labeling a skeleton. Yes, it says it is for younger kids, but you can learn from it anyway!
A page of online quizzes, games, and videos about the skeletal system.
A new way to treat facial injuries. DO NOT READ if you are squeamish.
A scientific study of belly button bacteria.
Did you ever wonder about the importance of hand washing?
Want to do a virtual knee replacement? Or a virtual hip replacement? Or a virtual hip resurfacing? Go to EdHeads where you can do all of these. The hip resurfacing is a free activity. The others need a membership for access. My students can email me for login information.
Want to learn what bone is where? Play Whack-A-Bone! You have to work up to whacking, though. First level you drag, second level you "scan", and the third level you whack.
Want to learn what muscle is where? Play Poke-A-Muscle!
