Build the Virtual Frog
Learn the anatomy of a frog online
GRADE LEVEL: 9-12

http://www-itg.lbl.gov/vfrog/builder.html

CONTENT:
This site, presented by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has been around for a while but is still useful for learning about the organs of the frog and their 3-D spatial relationships.
AESTHETICS:
The format of the site is very simple and unassuming.
ORGANIZATION:
Building the virtual frog can be accomplished right from the main page. It is recommended that users read the Guide before beginning.
REVIEW:
"Building a frog can be harder than it looks." The object of the game is to place all the frog's organs in the proper position. If a player gets stuck, the direct link back to the Virtual Frog Dissection Kit allows review of the placement of the organs as well as their functions. This is an interactive site that students may enjoy more than manipulating and studying the organs of a real frog!
