• CONTENT Anatomy and Physiology Digital Textbook: PowerPoints & Notes
  • The foundation of my Anatomy and Physiology Curriculum is the content presented in the PowerPoints. My goal is to present accurate, relevant, clear, and concise content in a highly engaging visual format. Each PowerPoint is also included in a Google Slides™ version. Use these in class, for distance learning, or flipped classrooms.
  • Links to narrated PowerPoint videos are perfect for flipped classrooms, distance learning, or make-up work for absent students.
  • Two versions of student notes are included. One is a short-answer-style outline that students complete during the lecture or while viewing the slideshow or videos. The other notes format is fill-in-the-blank style. This format is also available on Google Docs™.
  • Each PowerPoint resource includes a teacher's guide with teaching tips, content outline, key terms list, and lecture notes.
  • Two resources designed to assist students in mastering key vocabulary words are also included. One is a key terms chart that can be folded over for use as a study tool. The other is a set of flashcards in a print-friendly format. Just print, cut, fold, and laminate for years of use.

A comprehensive final exam is also included.
