Throw Us a Bone!!

My students need these hands on materials to help bring home the topics covered in Anatomy and Physiology.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I am a high school science teacher in a rural community in south Mississippi. I teach Biology and Anatomy and Physiology.

This year will be my first year to teach Anatomy and Physiology. I will be walking into the classroom with virtually no resources to help bring the words and pictures from the pages of the textbook to life for these students.

My students need hands on materials to help bring the unseen processes that go on in our bodies to life. Skeletons and other three-dimensional models can help students to see the previously unseen.

You can help awaken the next great doctor, nurse or scientific researcher by allowing these students to become engrossed in the Anatomy and Physiology of their own bodies.
