Description

Be done with all of your anatomy and physiology lesson plans for the year with this no-prep paper AND digital paperless bundle that has all of the notes, labs, activities, practices, projects, quizzes, and tests you need to teach an entire year of human anatomy and physiology. Every major body system is covered and listed in the units below.  This is an excellent stand-alone resource or could be used to refresh or supplement an existing curriculum that you have. All tests are provided on two levels – CP (College Prep, or on grade level) and Honors (advanced) to aid in differentiating for varying levels of students.  Not only that, but the student packets come in a paperless digital version that can be used in Google Drive™ and/or Microsoft OneDrive™. This is perfect for the teacher who is in a 1:1 classroom, for someone who is hoping to integrate more educational technology to move towards becoming a paperless classroom, or is currently teaching via distance learning. Because it is all-inclusive, it is especially useful for new teachers, maternity leave, and flipped classrooms!

What content is in this bundle?

The following 7 units and independent research projects (all available for individual purchase in my store) are included in this bundle.  These resources total to $355, if all purchased individually.  However, if you choose to purchase this full year bundle, you get a 20% discount, making the resource the listed price.  That’s less than 75 cents a day to be done with lesson planning for the year!  Units included are:

What types of resources are included?

I strongly encourage you to check out each unit (linked above) that is included and download their individual previews.  Each unit preview will give you 15-20 pages detailing what is included. In summary, you will be receiving over 2,300 pages of curriculum including animated and editable PowerPoint slides with links to video lectures for each one, 7 packets (1 per unit) of student handouts, over 150 pages of implementation notes, editable unit plans (with both 50-minute and 90-minute pacing options), detailed answer keys, and editable tests and quizzes. Plus, access to ALL of the materials in the student packets in a digital paperless format that can be used in Google Drive™ and/or Microsoft OneDrive™.  Not only that, but in purchasing this bundle you will get free updates for LIFE for any content added to it.  The newest additions to the anatomy curriculum include the yearlong independent research projects, binder covers, filled in Cornell notes and fill in the blank Cornell notes – both in the printable PDF packet format and the paperless digital Google Drive™ format.

What types of files are included?

Most of the documents in this product are secured PDFs, meaning you can print them but not edit or copy/paste the text. The paperless digital student packets will be accessed via a Google Drive™ link in a PDF file that students can type into but not change the essential content of. Editable versions are only included for the unit plans, quizzes, tests and some aspects of the activities for you to customize for your classroom. The PowerPoint lecture notes also have editable text. This is to protect the copyright and intellectual property of my own work, plus the work of many dedicated clip artists that are included in this product. If you have questions about this, please don’t hesitate to email me with them prior to purchasing!

What materials are needed in addition to the resources provided?

Download the preview to see a compiled list of all necessary supplies for all 7 units. I wrote this curriculum for the science teacher with minimal materials and budget, so the majority of the supplies needed can be purchased on Amazon or at Walmart!

How is this resource distance learning compatible?

This resource already comes with all of the student handouts in a packet format that can be used on paper (PDF to print) or digitally in a paperless version for Google Drive™ and/or Microsoft OneDrive™. All of the PowerPoint notes also come with a lecture video to help your students learn from afar. You can see all of my lecture videos on my YouTube channel here, and you can check out a free sample of a paperless digital packet so you can see what the formatting and usability is like prior to purchasing.  Please don’t hesitate to email me at itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com if you have questions so we can figure out if this is a good fit for you and your students.

*NOTE* I did not specifically write this anatomy curriculum for distance learning or homeschool anatomy and physiology settings, but this entire curriculum can still be used in a modified format, and all will be fully usable when we are one day back in our classrooms! I include a document with tips for using the resources within each unit in a virtual teaching and/or homeschool setting to help you. If you have questions about which resources may or may not work from home, shoot me an email and we can discuss!

What is so great about the digital student packets that are included?

  • You can go PAPERLESS in your classroom if you want – no more dreaded mornings at the copy machine!
  • You still get all of the organization of my packet strategy, just now in digital format too!
  • Students will be able to access their packets ANYWHERE. No more, “I forgot my binder so I couldn’t do (fill in the blank)”
  • Students can print their filled in packets or an extra blank copy easily from home
  • You can now have a mixed classroom with some students paperless and others not. You can also start with just doing a few units digitally and others on paper. Whatever works best for you and your students. The point here is that you now have OPTIONS!
  • You have increased flexibility for students to easily learn and be connected outside the walls of your classroom.
  • A built in opportunity to help students grow in their digital literacy.

What standards are covered?

When writing each of my A&P units, I tried to incorporate as many different states’ anatomy and physiology standards as possible, while most importantly keeping the content within the scope of the *NGSS style.  While NGSS does not have specific standards for anatomy and physiology, there are many DCI’s, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices that align with my A&P curriculum, such as:
  • HS-LS1-1: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins, which carry out the essential functions of life through systems of specialized cells.
  • HS-LS1-2: Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms.
  • HS-LS1-3: Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis.
  • HS-LS1-4: Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms.
  • HS-LS1-6: Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules.
  • HS-LS3-1: Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring.
The crosscutting concepts and science and engineering practices are embedded throughout each unit so that the units reflect the three dimensions of the NGSS. An NGSS alignment document is included with each unit with suggestions for phenomena that can be used as you develop storylines specific to your students and their interests. My hope is that this curriculum provides you all of the foundational resources you need for figuring out “what” to teach, so that you can then focus your energy on “how” you want to teach.
 
I highly recommend to every teacher that you just purchase one unit first to test out before making such a large investment in purchasing the whole curriculum. This way you can see my style and make sure it is a good fit for you and your students first and minimizing the financial risk. If you like the unit and decide to go ahead and purchase the full curriculum bundle, email me at itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com with your original order number and I will create a discount coupon for you to use to purchase the full year bundle without paying for the original unit you tested out twice. If you have questions about this, feel free to shoot me an email prior to purchasing at itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com.
 
Note: If you aren’t sure how your state standards compare to the NGSS, shoot me an email at itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com with a PDF or link to your state standards for anatomy and I will be happy to review them for you prior to you making a purchase!

What prior knowledge is necessary for students to have before using this curriculum?

A&P is traditionally an upperclassmen science course, so I wrote this curriculum with the expectation that students using it will have previously taken a course in Biology AND a course in Chemistry. If that is NOT the case for your students, keep that in mind as you may need to provide further support for them to be successful with the content.

Why should I use this product in my classroom?

If you are a first year teacher, new to teaching A&P, going on maternity leave, or overwhelmed by too many responsibilities and classes to prep for, this resource was written for you.  Designing anatomy curriculum for an entire year that is engaging, activity-based, and standard-aligned can be exhausting. Especially if you are in a school with little to no science budget like I have been, it can be so hard to have a hands-on course without breaking your own bank to provide it for your students. This is why I began writing these comprehensive units – for the teacher who wants what is best for their students but doesn’t necessarily have the time, energy, or resources to provide it for them (which was ME!) Not only that, I also wrote each of my units with enough detail for my own non-science long-term maternity leave sub to be able to use them. The level of detail, links to the video lectures for each set of notes, and low-budget materials list makes this product perfect for teachers new to this subject, going on maternity leave for a long-term sub, or even trying a flipped classroom strategy.

What if I am not ready to make such a big purchase and want to test it out first?

I completely understand the investment this is for your classroom, as I too am a teacher and know every penny counts. I highly encourage you if you are considering this big purchase to buy an individual unit first to see if my style is desirable for you and your students. If you like the unit and decide to go ahead and purchase the full curriculum bundle, email me at itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com with your original order number and I will create a discount coupon for you to use to purchase the full year bundle without paying for the original unit you tested out twice. Have questions? I’d love to discuss with you further. You can email me or contact me here.

Can I pay with a purchase order?

YES!  Learn how to here.
