HELPFUL DISSECTION WEBSITES [|MUSCLE LIST] HUMAN MUSCLE TUTORIAL

 NY TIMES CURRENT HEALTH RESEARCH rss url="http://feeds.nytimes.com/nyt/rss/Research" link="true" number="5" date="true"

LINKS WEBSITES YOU MAY FIND VERY USEFUL []
 * __ General internet sources __**

1. Learn the Net __ [] __ This site is the perfect place for the on-line rookie. I sent my husband here to read a little and practice some techniques. He previously only knew how to find sites that I had bookmarked. After a couple of sessions playing with this site, and having a second window open so that he could try out some of the instructions, he was able to find Nascar previews and the Lottery numbers all by himself.

2. Reference desk __ [|http://www.refdesk.com] __ Any reference material you could find in an old-fashion library you can find here. Everything from maps to genealogies, from stock reports to crossword puzzles. The site has direct links to all major search engines and e-mails. It has comprehensive lists of government sites sorted by category. This would be a good site to have students begin their searches for their long term research projects.

3. Journals __ [|http://ejournals.ebsco.com] __ The best site on the internet for finding original journal articles in any subject area. This is part of our POWER library and is available on any of the machines that have been designated as such within the building. EBSCO can be used in all subjects. The search gives a fairly complex listing which must be read more closely than a Google search. I would only recommend this too my honors students.

4.Journals __ [|http://scholar.google.com] __ This is the better choice for most high school students. They are familiar with the google format and will have an easier time finding what they need on this site than on EBSCO. This site has the normal google abundance of choices and most blurbs indicate whether the site gives access to complete articles or abstracts only.

**__College and Careers__**

1. Financial aid/college __ [|www.educationplanner.com] __ This is a website created by American Education Services, a nonprofit financial aid provider. It offers many options for students and parents to research colleges, careers, and of course, financial aid and scholarship options. It's divided into six main sections: Discovering, Preparing, Selecting, Applying, Deciding, Paying. There are many interactive tools, making the searches fun and student-friendly.

2. What can I do with a major in…. __ [] __ A great resource to share with guidance dept. and parents of juniors and seniors. This site is part of the University of North Carolina Wilmington. I’m sure other colleges have similar sites but if they don’t this would help students to formulate a plan - and help parents to see some of the options. The page for each major includes some very long lists and many of the listed items include links to job searches, career planning links, professional associations and other resources. 3. Current research and grants __ [] __ The National Science Foundation is a government agencies whose primary function is funding research. They have many opportunities for students to write grants or be part of larger research projects. The index and search are good places for students to find out who is doing the most current research on their topic. Often contact information is available for the researcher or institute and students have gotten responses from scientists. 4. Outdoor information __ [] __ A great reference site for all types of outdoor information. Includes a very inclusive job search, equipment comparisons for almost any outdoor activity and general information about hiking and camping. Keep this one in mind at “retirement” time.

Anatomy

1. Teen health __ [|http://kidshealth.org/teen] __ This is a great site to pass on to guidance counselors or school nurses. It would be a great reference for a health class also. It doesn’t get into every little medical aspect of teen health. Instead, it gives real information in language teens will understand and it covers most of the topics that teens don’t want to talk to adults about but really shouldn’t be getting information from their friends about either.

2. Psych __ [|www.advisorteam.com] __ This is a great website that talks about the temperaments. There is a free online quiz that the students take and then it will identify their temperament. I think this would be a great activity to do in your class if you are trying to get to know your students better or helping them know themselves better. It could be used in the nervous system unit, for independent projects or in the psych class.

3. Anatomy __ [] __ A good interactive site for anatomy students. There is a good bit of advertising but the information is correct and pretty complete. You can explore body systems by clicking on different areas of the bodies and it gives you descriptions, diagrams and information on basic physiology. This site is very slow on a dial up computer.

4. Medical journals __ [] __ This journal site only carries medical journals where the article or abstracts are available free of charge. The search is easy to use. Complete questions can be entered and lead to very specific results. There were a few journal articles to which I was denied access. They were older articles and may be no longer available online, or at all.

5. Medical conditions __ [] __ The merck company has put together a comprehensive site which gives basic information about most of the major conditions which are treated with medications. Student should be reminded that a drug company publishes this site and should watch for bias. The only indication I found was that treatments always list medications first and often simply give references for other treatments.

6. Drugs/alcohol __ [|http://www.drugfree.org] __ This site has very simplistic information about most types of drug and alcohol use and abuse. The information won’t be anything new for students, in fact the “street names” are very dated, but the highlight is the quizzes. Students love to take quizzes and these give them brutally honest information in a completely anonymous setting. Students who may be falling into bad habits should be convinced to take the quizzes and think about their habits.

7. College lectures __ [|http://www.hhmi.org] __ Howard Hughes Medical institute presents yearly lectures series every Christmas. Each one has a specific topic - Heart disease, Genetics, and aging. The older lectures are available online or can be ordered in DVD form. The website also includes information on grants and research, although the nsf site is easier to search for specific current research.

8. Hospital issues __ [|http://www.uihealthcare.com] __ Virtual hospital site which uses plain, not over simplified, language to explain almost anything that might happen in a hospital. The site gives solid medical explanations and a great collection of FAQ type sections about a wide variety of hospital issues. There is a bias towards surgery as a first option for some conditions where there are many other treatment options.

9. Brains __ [] __ This is the premier site to view scans of brains. It includes healthy brains, diseased brains and even physiological scans of psychotic brains. This site is better visited from the fastest computer available with the best screen because detail and color are important components of the imagery being presented.

10. HIV/AIDS __ [] __ This is an advocacy site for HIV/AIDs. The site has great articles on personal triumphs and problems. It would give students a great perspective on all of the problems in the daily life of a person living with HIV. It also gives information on the legal and government avenues people use to find help for overwhelming problems like AIDS.

11. Dissections __ [|www.biointeractive.org/] __ The Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s online virtual labs in a number of biology fields as well as great illustrations and animations. This link should be added to the anatomy and the biology list. Students can progress from simple illustrations to complete dissections and information on physiology. This could be an alternative for dissection, although froguts is more realistic.

12. Diabetes __ [] __ A site designed for those living with diabetes. There is good basic information on weight loss, medications, and other aspects of living with the disease. It should go on the list of sites for nutrition unit and for diet projects. Students can enter different foods and meals and get complete carb, lipid and other fat info about the food. It even recommends other foods to eat with the one entered to balance the meal.

13. Shufflebrain __ [] __ This site is put together by Professor Emeritus at the School of Optometry, Indiana University at Bloomington. It is a fun, informative collection of lectures, links, quizzes, labs and other information about how the brain works. Some very solid information and a great variety of off-center research such as cross species brain transplants and unique neurological diseases. Great site for my psych majors.media type="youtube" key="t0pyd_-uJvg?fs=1" height="385" width="640"
