REVIEW:
This award winning site explores the impact of some extraordinary
women doctors in the United States. Students will learn what inspired
them, who their mentors were, and why medicine is important to them
as well as learn the steps they must take to join the medical profession.
Interactive activities make it fun for students to explore how the
human body works. Users can follow a red blood cell through the
body; learn how cells reproduce and more. Teachers will find lesson
plans for grades K-12 to aid in understanding the physiology of
the body and the field of medicine. Lessons are written to explore
four themes: Using Our Senses, Your Beating Heart, What’s
Happening to Your Body and Choosing a Career in Health. They include
learning outcomes, materials needed, procedures, standards, evaluation
and extensions. Additionally, users are encouraged to share their
own story about a memorable female doctor who treated you, who inspires
you, who is in your family, or who made a difference in your community.
