My rating of this resource: ***

My experience using this resource:
Anatomy & Physiology/Biology

Topic I was teaching:
The Circulatory System

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
To review the A/P of the circulatory sytem and identify how it links to the body systems already discussed (digestive & respiratory)

Course Level:
Intro or Regular

How I/my students used the resource:
Organ Puzzle: Review key body organs structure and function while placing them in the right location/orientation in the human body.

Value Added:
Provides visualization or animation, Provides practice or tutorial

Strengths:
fun, great animation, solid content without getting too detailed,

a good activity to use in a peer tutor situation

Weaknesses:
Due to the construction of this site, a review of only the circulatory system is not possible. Students may choose only those structures associated with the circ. system, but can get distracted by the "other cool parts". Orienting the organs is an added challenge, and my prove difficult (even frustrating) for some
