Human Anatomy Lab Manual

(View Complete Item Description)

This is a lab manual for a college-level human anatomy course. Mastery of anatomy requires a fair amount of memorization and recall skills. The activities in this manual encourage students to engage with new vocabulary in many ways, including grouping key terms, matching terms to structures, recalling definitions, and written exercises. Most of the activities in this manual utilize anatomical models, and several dissections of animal tissues and histological examinations are also included. Each unit includes both pre- and post-lab questions and six lab exercises designed for a classroom where students move from station to station. The vocabulary terms used in each unit are listed at the end of the manual and serve as a checklist for practicals.

Virtual Cell Animation Collection

(View Complete Item Description)

The Virtual Cell Animation Collection currently contains 24 animations in 3D and with motion, which cover many molecular and cellular biology (MCB) topics. The Animation Collection is available on a website (http://vcell.ndsu.edu/animations), a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/ndsuvirtualcell), and as an Apple iOS app. Biology education research indicates that 1) multiple viewing of animations increase learning gains beyond a single viewing either before a lecture, as in a “flipped” classroom, or during a lecture, 2) increased learning gains result from engagement with animations over engagement with static graphics, and 3) students perceive that engagement with animations greatly facilitates their understanding of MCB processes.
