Tools for this Unit:

Recommended Teacher Resources:

Damon, Alan, Randy McGonegal, Patricia Totso, and William Ward. Biology Standard Level. Oxford: Heinemann International Literature and Textbooks, 2007.

An excellent, straightforward text for IB biology, this book also includes a number of useful images, diagrams, and hyperlinks to web activities.

Kapit, Wynn, Robert I. Macey, and Esmail Meisami. The Physiology Coloring Book. San Francisco: Benjamin Cummings, 2000.

This book contains a number of complex diagrams as well as some useful general slides. It is more than a coloring book—the details force you to think about the structure and function of each part and piece of the physiological systems.

McCann, Stephanie, and Joanne Tillotson. Fetal Pig Coloring Book. New York: Kaplan Publishing, 2007.

This may serve as an alternative to the Physiology Coloring Book and will assist with preparing students for the fetal pig dissection lab.

Page, Martyn. Human Body: An Illustrated Guide to Every Part of the Human Body and How It Works. New York: Dorling Kindersley, Inc., 2001.

Filled with vivid pictures and diagrams, this book makes a very approachable visual anatomy companion to the more complex text resources.

"Organ Transplantation - The Hastings Center ." The Hastings Center - Bioethics and Public Policy. http://www.thehastingscenter.org/Issues/Default.aspx?v=254 (accessed July 31, 2011).

This site contains a number of non-partisan bioethics articles examining different angles on organ donation and transplantation.
