In this activity, students analyze evidence from comparative anatomy, mathematical modeling, and molecular biology. This evidence suggests a likely sequence of steps in the evolution of the human eye and the octopus eye.  General concepts used to interpret this evidence include natural selection, fitness, and the difference between homology (similarity due to common descent) and analogy (similarity due to convergent evolution). This activity helps students meet the Next Generation Science Standards.

Crash Course AP Science: Today Hank explains the skeletal system and why astronauts Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko are out in space studying it. He talks about the anatomy of the skeletal system, including the flat, short, and irregular bones, and their individual arrangements of compact and spongy bone. He'll also cover the microanatomy of bones, particularly the osteons and their inner lamella. And finally he will introduce the process of bone remodeling, which is carried out by crews of osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts.

This Remote Learning Plan was created by Shauna Roberson in collaboration with Nick Ziegler as part of the 2019-20 ESU-NDE Digital Age Pedagogy Project. Educators worked with coaches to create Remote Learning Plans as a result of the COVID19 pandemic.The attached Remote Learning Plan is designed for a grade 6-9 science students studying human anatomy. Students will: create a presentation demonstrating the difference between covalent and ionic bonding. 

In this lesson students will explore many challenges using beanbags. Locomotor as well as manipulatives and non-manipulatives are involved. Students will enhance their knowledge of physical fitness skills as well as related terminology.

Recycled Book Boxes
(art + literature)
Rather than traditional pages, the interior of these “books” will hold objects collected by students. An “art box” book could contain samples of texture, color, form, and line or other examples of design elements or styles. Or a more personalized box “about me” could hold a collection of tiny photos, poems and small keepsakes. Students explore the anatomy of a book as they assemble these book boxes.

Grade Levels 3-12

Note: instructions and materials based on a class of 25 students. Adjust as needed.

Preface

Neural Foundations of Communication was developed for undergraduate neurology classes in the study of communication sciences and disorders. Anatomy and Physiology is a prerequisite to gain an understanding of neurology as it relates to communication. As such, this book contains some of the foundational information from the anatomy textbook, “Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology for Communication Sciences” for review.

The authors intended to cover the coursework with this textbook to customize the sequence of learning objectives and support rising Speech-Language Pathologists. We developed our first open educational resource (OER) textbook in 2020, shortly after the COVID-19 Pandemic began. Reducing the costs of study materials helps rising SLPs progress toward their certification without interruptions due to financial constraints. Developing the Open Education Resource (OER) resources is our ongoing effort to support future SLPs.

A large part of this book is from various OpenStax textbooks. OpenStax is a nonprofit organization based out of Rice University in Houston, Texas. Its open resource textbooks cover a vast amount of information for two-semester core curriculum courses in various disciplines. OpenStax generously permits educators to use their books' content in part or in whole to develop textbooks customized for each instructor's course structure. The present textbook's content from other open resources, such as OpenStax, is color-coded in black ink. Additional information concerning communication sciences and disorders appears in blue ink. The original OpenStax texts are accessible free of charge at https://openstax.org/subjects. This textbook includes applicable content from the OpenStax books Anatomy and Physiology, Psychology, and Biology for AP® Course.

This textbook contains various images produced by the renowned Dr. Willard R. Zemlin (1929-1998) with permission. Dr. Zemlin was one of the most influential scholars in anatomy and physiology concerning communication sciences and disorders. Dr. Zemlin's son, Mr. Karl Zemlin, kindly sharpened numerous images to provide high-resolution pictures. Mr. Zemlin expressed his appreciation for the generosity of those who donated their bodies to science throughout his father's studies. A full collection of Dr. Zemlin's work is accessible at his memorial website http://zemlin.shs.uiuc.edu/zemlinBio.htm of which Mr. Zemlin is the webmaster.

This textbook also incorporates additional OER materials from various information from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), branches of National Institute of Health, Wikimedia Commons, and other Wikimedia websites. The “Wiki-“ series offers a wide range of information under Creative Common (CC) licenses, allowing the use and remix of the materials. This textbook would not have been possible without the contributions of OpenStax, Mr. Karl Zemlin, and generous providers of CDC, NIH, and Wikimedia Commons resources. We sincerely appreciate their kindness. We have made this textbook available for our future colleagues to gain entry-level scientific knowledge applicable for serving individuals with communication disorders.

Preface

We developed the first edition of this Anatomy and Physiology textbook in 2020,
shortly after the COVID-19 Pandemic began. Reducing the costs of study materials
would help rising Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) progress toward their
certification without interruptions due to financial setbacks. Developing the Open
Education Resource (OER) Anatomy and Physiology textbook was our first step in
an ongoing effort to support future SLPs.

A large part of this book derived from various OpenStax textbook series. OpenStax
is a nonprofit organization based out of Rice University in Houston, Texas. Its open
resource textbooks cover a vast amount of information for two-semester core
curriculum courses in various disciplines. OpenStax generously permits educators
to use their books' content in part or in whole to develop textbooks customized for
each instructor's course structure. The present textbook's OpenStax content is colorcoded
in black ink. Additional information concerning communication sciences and
disorders appears in blue ink. The original OpenStax texts are accessible free of
charge at https://openstax.org/subjects. This textbook includes applicable content
from the OpenStax books Anatomy and Physiology, Psychology, and Biology for
AP  Course.

This textbook contains various images produced by the third author, renowned Dr.
Willard R. Zemlin (1929-1998), with permission. Dr. Zemlin was one of the most
influential scholars in anatomy and physiology concerning communication sciences
and disorders. Dr. Zemlin's son, Mr. Karl Zemlin, kindly sharpened numerous images
for this book to provide high-resolution pictures. At Mr. Zemlin's suggestion, Dr.
Zemlin is included as a co-author of this edition. Mr. Zemlin expressed his
appreciation for the generosity of those who donated their bodies to science
throughout his father's studies. A comprehensive collection of Dr. Zemlin's work is
accessible at his memorial website http://zemlin.shs.uiuc.edu/zemlinBio.htm of
which Mr. Zemlin is the webmaster.

The current edition also incorporates additional images from Wiki Common. Wiki
Common offers various information under Creative Common (CC) licenses, allowing
the use and remix of the materials. This textbook would not have been possible
without the contributions of OpenStax, Mr. Karl Zemlin, and generous providers of
Wiki Common resources. We sincerely appreciate their generosity. Also, the authors
would like to acknowledge the assistance of the students who used the initial edition
of this book last year. They provided valuable comments from the learners’ point of
view for refining the content. We have made this textbook available for our future
colleagues to gain entry-level scientific knowledge applicable for serving individuals
with communication disorders.
