Pioneers in Human Anatomy provides an opportunity for those who may be interested in those pioneers in anatomy or who may have learned (or forgotten) some eponymonic descriptions in the past, to test their knowledge (or memory) of these historical designations or to link particular individuals to anatomical structures and features previously unknown. While students and teachers of anatomy may might have a professional interest in knowing who, in the history of anatomy, has been associated with a particular structure, others including medical historians, biographers and medical artist might also find this information of interest. This collection of free-answer quiz questions is divided into three sections. In the first section a brief description of an anatomical structure, feature, tissue, cell or pathway is presented followed by a blank line in which the reader may insert the name(s) of the individual(s) commonly associated with that structure, feature, tissue or pathway. The descriptions and individuals included here are limited to those associated with the four traditional sub-disciplines of anatomy: gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, microscopic anatomy and developmental anatomy. Within these major anatomical subdisciplines, the descriptions are further categorized to better organize the material. Some eponyms have come into the literature because that individual was the first to report on a particular topic (aqueduct of Sylvius) or may have provided the most definitive description of the topic (Parkinson disease). Others recognize the committed effort or discovery of a single individual (islets of Langerhan) while others signify the combined or collaborative efforts of two or more dedicated persons (Marchiafava-Bignami disease). Some refer to normal structures (Hunter’s canal) or functions (Starling’s law), while many others relate to abnormal observations (Babinski sign). Countless numbers are associated with diseases (Tay-Sachs disease) or injuries (Colle’s fracture), procedures for evaluating functions (McMurray’s test) or techniques for treating specific disease or injuries (Epply maneuver). Eponymonic designations are used to identify tools and surgical instruments invented for particular purposes (Kerrison Rongeur) and surgical procedures (Whipple procedure). Some eponyms are associated with other, frequently more descriptive terms (Poupart’s ligament / inguinal ligament) while others indicate structures, processes or procedures for which no other name exists (McBurney’s point). As can be appreciated from this brief synopsis, eponyms are well ingrained into almost all facets of medicine.

The Plain Language Study Guide includes one student/instructor study guide (and a corresponding 88-question Test Bank) based on the U.S. Federal Plain Language Guidelines. The study guide is designed for test preparation, lesson planning, review, and assessment. It covers business writing and professional communication basics for university and professional learners. Concepts include: audience, organization, clarity, wordiness, sentences, paragraphs, headings, active voice, formatting, tables, and lists.

Playground Physics is an iPad and Progressive Web application (app) developed by the New York Hall of Science. The app is accompanied by a supplemental Teacher Guide for middle school teachers. The Playground Physics curriculum is a six-week supplemental physics curriculum, designed to be used alongside any existing science curricula in the middle grades. It includes a teacher guide and student work, and maps to the NGSS and NYSSLS. The curriculum is focused around three different units which each explore a major concept in physics (motion, force and energy) through a specific type of physical play (catching a ball, jumping, swinging).

Playground Physics is particularly well suited to supporting diverse learners because it leverages students’ abilities to playfully ask and answer their own questions to connect academic content to what they notice, describe and analyze about their own individual actions. Additionally, the multimodal nature of the program, which uses videos and images as well as kinesthetic exploration to build understanding, is less text-dependent than more traditional physics instructional materials.

Students will learn about the differences between the two and can examine examples  that help clarify how information can be packaged differently and how those choices impact how a product will be used.

This resource gives directions for a project about polytheistic religions. It aims to answer the question how is religion a narrative for the culture of a civilization? Students will work in groups and present their work. 

Portfolio assessment involves the collection and evaluation of various artifacts or samples of an individual's work over a period of time. It provides a holistic view of the individual's achievements, skills, and growth in multiple areas. Portfolios may include written assignments, projects, presentations, creative works, or other evidence of learning or performance. The assessment process typically involves organizing, curating, and reflecting on the portfolio contents, as well as making judgments about the individual's progress and competency levels. Portfolio assessments are commonly used in educational settings to showcase accomplishments, promote self-reflection, and provide evidence of learning outcomes. PORTFOLIO_ASSESSMENT_1zIv3Q4.docx
