Review for:Swallowing animationIf you used this resource in your own classroom, please add your review. posted: on December 23, 2006 at 12:53PM
My rating of this resource: ***
My experience using this resource: Human Digestion
Topic I was teaching: Ingestion and swallowing
My learning goal for which this resource was used: I wanted students to see the action of the tounge and epiglottis as food was swallowed and moved to the esophagus and finally to the stomach
Course Level: A.P., Honors or Advanced
How I/my students used the resource: We watched this animation in class while talking about the process of swallowing and the class also reviewed this animation at home after class
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation
Strengths: I think it helps students visualize the process and can organize the sequence of events easier by wacthing it after having talked about it in class.
Weaknesses: The animation is well labeled but it does not do a good job of addressing peristalisis
