Anatomical Terminology: Relative Position Video
By Becky Polk-Pohlman
Students identify the various regions of the human body through video.
The Stress Response
By Barbara Liang
In this animated object, learners read a brief description of the roles of the hypothalamus, emotions, and adrenal secretions during the stress response.
Types of Elements in the Periodic Table and Their Properties (Screencast)
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Martin McClinton
In this screencast, we review the positions of metals, metalloids, and nonmetals in the Periodic Table and the general characteristics of each.
Energy in Chemical Reactions
By Dr. Miriam Douglass
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine kinetic and potential energy as well as the first law of thermodynamics and the flow of energy between a system and its surroundings. Students also answer questions about exothermic and endothermic reactions
Learning the Elements of the Periodic Table by Name or Symbol
By Mona Wenrich
Students practice identifying common elements from the periodic table by name or symbol.
White Blood Cells
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the structure and functions of granulocytes and agranulocytes. Two exercises complete the activity.
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.
Eukaryotic Cells: Assembling the Cell
By Kristine Snow
In this interactive object, learners read the definitions of the parts of a cell and assemble a basic eukaryotic cell in a drag and drop exercise. A matching quiz involving cell terms and their definitions completes the activity.
Mass Versus Weight
By Kim Ristow
In this learning activity you'll explore the difference between mass and weight.
Respiratory Basics
By Wendy Dusek
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine ventilation, external and internal respiration, and gas transport.
Respiratory System Gas Exchange
By Bruce Forciea
In this animated object, learners examine the mechanisms for gas exchange among the lungs, blood, and tissues.
Thermodynamic Transfer
By Terry Bartelt
In this animated object, learners examine how thermal energy is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation. A brief quiz completes the activity.
The Actions of Hormones
In this animated object, learners compare the mode of action of steroids with the action of amino acid-based hormones.
What Is Electricity?
The learner studies how electrons travel from one atom to the next. Examples demonstrate how voltage is created by the use of a battery or through magnetism. A quiz completes the activity.
Chemical Formulas
Students read an explanation of chemical formulas in this animated activity. A quiz completes the object.
Biosecurity Strategies
By the end of this module, you'll be able to:
- Identify actions that can reduce biosecurity risk
- Develop a biosecurity action plan for a farm
- Select the most cost effective strategies
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
The Appendicular Skeleton (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners examine the bones of the appendicular skeleton.
Lifecycles of Animals and Plants
In this animated activity, sexual reproduction in animals is contrasted with the alternation of generation lifecycle of plants.
Phase Transitions
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
Learners examine how melting, vaporization, and sublimation require energy input while freezing and condensation release energy.
The Unipolar and Multipolar Neurons
Learners examine the location, structure, and function of the unipolar and multipolar neurons.
Skin and the Integumentary System
Learners examine the structure and function of skin including the production of melanin.
Phagocyte Chemotaxis
By Carol Parent-Paulson
This animated object illustrates the events leading to the migration of phagocytes into areas of tissue damage and/or bacterial presence. Learners view bacterial cell phagocytosis, its subsequent enzymatic digestion, and exocytosis.
Peptide Bond Formation
By Richard Wilkosz
In this animated object, learners examine the formation of peptide bonds through dehydration synthesis.
The Plant Kingdom: An Introduction
Learners read about the mutations that occurred in plants for the successful transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial existence. The classification of plants is based on these adaptive structures.
