This twenty-two-week intense college prep course covers Human Anatomy in detail. This course is for homeschooled students seeking a health career or even just to get the required science credit that some colleges prefer for other degrees. This course fulfills the Advanced Biology course on a high school transcript. It is also great for students who really enjoy studying the human body.

All the systems of the human body will be taught in detail. Most students take this course after they have completed Biology and Chemistry. Most students are juniors or seniors in high school.

If the student doesn't know any Chemistry, this may be unclear to them. However, there are exceptions to any...
This course will help students better understand the anatomy and physiology of how all body systems and how work together.
I have thirty-five years of teaching experience at the high school level. I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a minor in Art. Plus, I am a lifetime certified, a secondary teacher who still continues to learn online. In recent years, I've taken several online courses to stay current on what is being taught now. Vital Signs: Understanding What the Body Is Telling Us from the University of Pennsylvania Drugs, drug use, drug policy, and health from the University of Geneva Emerging Trends & Technologies in the Virtual K-12 Classroom from the University of California, Irvine

I will give the students a heads up as to when they will need the supplies for a lab. These labs may or may not be done in class time. However, the lab must be done to fill the requirement for the course. These are short and safe labs for students to better understand the physiology of the body.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students will be exposed to various preserved specimens (sheep's eye, heart and rabbit lung, etc. ) and medical terminology that the endocrine and reproductive system will cover. Students will also be viewing videos on Youtube to better understand various bodily functions an anatomical parts. CK-12 will be the class reference text used for reading assignments and answering worksheets.
We will use the CK-12 Online Biology Text. We will use Youtube to explain various bodily functions through screen share. We will use Biology Corner for handouts and diagrams.
