The students are working togethere to research the body systems and create “web” pages to display their information.  I am also having them make a web tool to embed on their wiki page.  The wiki is due Friday at the beginning of class and will be a test grade for the last six weeks.

Wednesday we will be studying the path of blood flow and dissecting hearts. 

I am including test study flashcards and the wiki includes games and info that they will be responsible for.
