Applying Anatomy & Physiology Concepts through Active Learning
Developed as the companion lab manual to Amerman’s Human Anatomy & Physiology, Catharine Whiting’s lab manual takes an active learning approach that uses a rich variety of hands-on activities, along with guided questions, to engage students and help them apply concepts learned in lecture to lab.
The active learning approach to Whiting’s Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual: Making Connections includes unique hands-on activities that use different learning modes including labeling, sketching, touching, dissecting, observing, conducting experiments, interacting with groups, and making predictions. Whiting also includes pre-lab assignments to help students better prepare for lab; and post-lab assignments to solidify learning and challenge students to see interrelationships of concepts across topics.
