Reading a Triple Beam Balance
By Jill Crowder
Students identify the parts of a triple beam balance and practice measuring the mass of objects.
Body Sections and Divisions of the Abdominal Pelvic Cavity
In this animated activity, learners examine how organs are visualized in three dimensions. The terms “longitudinal,” “cross,” “transverse,” “horizontal,” and “sagittal” are defined. Students test their knowledge of the location of abdominal pelvic cavity organs in two drag-and-drop exercises.
Anatomical Terminology: Relative Position
In this interactive learning activity, learners review the terms used to describe relative position of body parts in order to have a common set of words to describe their position. Check out our video on relative position: https://bit.ly/2kTXujp
