About this Guide

Spring Fever!

Spring is in full bloom and it has been challenging to stay on task and keep making videos with the birds chirping and rainbows on the horizon.  But we are inspired by the amazingly positive student response and support from the first week of class.  We are making this work!

Additional videos on the Skeletal System

We’ve been asked how to inexpensively acquire materials for homeschooling for a personal collection.  One of the best ways to collect models about the human body is to locate “pharmaceutical” models from eBay or thrift stores.  This video has an example.

Behind-the-Scenes

We prefer shooting videos & photos in natural light if possible, but the weather this week has definitely not been cooperating.

We are borrowing school models for videos, and when combined with our own models, we can demo almost anything.

Bring on the models!

Our "outdoor studio" is comprised of two picnic benches and several plastic chairs that we can move with the light.
