My rating of this resource: ****
My experience using this resource: Biology
Topic I was teaching: Intro duction to animal structure and function and digestion
My learning goal for which this resource was used: I wanted students to review all the organ systems that we had addressed in class, discuss the connections among the systems that allow the organism to carry out its metabolism, and the specifically review the structure and function of the digective organs.
Course Level: Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: I had students use this website at home after we spent time in class. It served as a good review for them and helped them determine what material they understood well and what they had to review.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Provides practice or tutorial, Provides additional content, Provides assessment opportunity
Strengths: It was a great wasy to review structure and function of organ systems. Students can a select male or female version of the game, but I recomend they comeplete both.
Weaknesses: The animation will not work with Safari as an internet browser. It also is very sensitive about where the organs are placed. Sometimes it took a long time to drag an organ to the correct place even though that is where the organ belonged.
