About this Guide

Keep Moving!

I’m realizing that months of computer work could wreck havoc on my health and I have a feeling I’m not alone. Luckily we are starting our two month “Body Plan,” keeping an eye on body data parameters. I’m including movement in mind, fitting in little 10-minute “sparks” of activity throughout the day. Health is always the priority and we need to make sure it stays front and center as we learn together.

Lesley

We’re having a blast with new models. Where were all of these amazing toys when I was a kid?

Portfolio Ideas

Add your own art to your portfolio to express your view of human biology.

Paper art, like collage and pop-ups, is a fun way to make a portfolio interactive.

If you are homeschooling, consider varying the sensory forms of learning materials to form more quality memories.

Behind-the-Scenes

Rock Collection

When is the wind going to stop? Luckily we have a substantial rock collection, and it finally has a purpose :).

Tripods

Our earliest videos were too shaky, so we now have multiple tripods: a taller one for standing and table-height work; a small one for close-in work.

Anatomical models are right at home with sculptures.

Whenever we show artwork, we always get asked to show more. Here is a video of “crazy quilt” pieces produced in the United States between 1890 and 1970.

Recommended Books

This book is pure gold: exploring the significance of muscle in species survival over time.

If you are seriously into muscle building, its worth while learning a bit about exercise physiology.

Can’t get enough of the muscles? Me neither!

Build a Library

Whether its digital or print, collect resources that assist in exploring, describing, and explaining the natural world.
