All the Lessons

Recorded Lessons

Dr. Robin’s lessons are manageable for younger learners but long enough (approx. 20 minutes) to really dig in to a topic in detail. In each lesson, Dr. Robin clearly explains complex science, building knowledge step-by-step with models, drawings, metaphors and demonstrations to develop understanding rather than just providing exposure.

Workbooks

Each module begins with an optional module workbook.  The page for each lesson is also available in that lesson.

For Anatomy Coloring Book Club, you can order Dr. Robin’s own coloring book on Amazon. For Book Club, you can get the book we’re reading from your favorite library or bookstore and the discussion questions will be posted in the lesson.

Modeling

A number of lessons include a professionally made or homemade model but any lesson listed with “Modeling” at the beginning is focused entirely around a model that students can create themselves.  These can be functional models (such as a model of how the diaphragm expands the lung) or they can be structural models (such as the model of the digestive system). 

Coloring

If a lesson is listed with “Coloring” at the beginning, it is focused on coloring and labeling an illustration that was custom designed and drawn for the program.  If you enjoy coloring, you should also check out Dr. Robin’s anatomy coloring book!

Dissection

While dissection is definitely not required for the program, we know some families want to experience anatomy hands-on in this way.  Any lesson that is listed with “Dissection” at the beginning is a dissection of an animal organ (or a whole grocery store chicken in the case of that dissection).  You can watch the dissection or participate at home.

Instrument or Technology

Lessons labelled with either “Instrument” or “Technology” at the beginning focus on a tool that is used in medicine.  This might be a stethoscope, EKG machine, or tuning fork.  These lessons provide a practical application of what students are learning in the rest of the lessons and include detailed explanations or demonstrations.

Practice

Anything listed with “Practice” at the beginning refers to Quizlet review that’s been created to match with the lesson it’s named for.  Most of these are set up as matching games but you can change them into flashcards, worksheets, or whichever Quizlet format you prefer.

Careers

Anything listed with “Careers” at the beginning refers to a lesson that focuses on a specific career related to the module.  This is a written lesson describing the career and each career has a printable summary.
