This is an ongoing class designed to cover high school anatomy and physiology. It will be taught through lectures and slides for those who are auditory and/or visual learners. It will also have interactive activities, experiments, videos, discussions, and games to help students remember the material being taught. Each lesson will cover something new, so students may join in at any time without feeling lost. Sometimes homework will be assigned in the form of a worksheet to be completed, an informative essay to be written, or a project to be made.
