解剖学: あなたについて学ぼう (13～17 歳) (複数日)

In this 8-week Multi-Day schedule course, students will discover what "anatomy" means and learn about the major sections and parts of the human body. I use engaging visuals and welcome relevant interaction and questions. I believe that the curious mind is the most pliable.

Curriculum:
Week 1: The Integumentary System
Week 2: The Skeletal System & The Muscular System
Week 3: The Nervous System & The Endocrine System
Week 4: The Circulatory System
Week 5: The Respiratory System
Week 6: The Digestive System & The Urinary System
Week 7: The Reproductive System
Week 8: The Lymphatic System & The Immune System

After each lesson, I post a handout reviewing the topics and terms that were covered. In addition, students will be asked to complete a "research project" each week between classes. They may choose their favorite topic from the past week's lesson, research it during the week, then present what they learned to the class the following week. (Students may also post a video of themselves presenting their research if they prefer that to presenting live.) The purposes of the research project are to: 1) keep students thinking about the subject matter between classes, 2) foster curiosity and the practice of asking questions to learn, and 3) to introduce the idea of research, which is central to all sciences.

Though no previous knowledge of anatomy is required, this course may be taken after my One-Time course “Let’s Learn About You: Introduction to Anatomy”, if students are not ready to commit to an 8-week course.
