Reefgazer Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 DD wants an A+P course for one of her high school science years, which should be easy for me to put together, except....she doesn't want to do any animal dissections. What experiments would you put together for a high school level A+P class without dissections? I am thinking plastic models of the heart, brain, etc..., along with microscope work (muscle slides, blood slides, etc...), and physiology experiments (such as blood typing). So I am looking for any additional non-dissection ideas, for those of you who have BTDT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in VA Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 We didn't do any lab with our AP course. She had already done lots of dissection in biology so we concentrated on terms and concepts since we knew she would be taking it in college as a nursing major. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 I was thinking of going this route, but I really would like her to have 4 years of lab science for her transcript (although I am not sure if one non-lab year would be that big a deal). We didn't do any lab with our AP course. She had already done lots of dissection in biology so we concentrated on terms and concepts since we knew she would be taking it in college as a nursing major.

Heather in VA Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well my daughter did have 4 lab sciences because she started science credits in 8th grade but i don't think it would have mattered if she had 3 and then A&P. If you want some ideas of labs you might want to check out Apologia's A&P book. I think it's called The Human Body. I've never looked at it but I assume they have labs in it since they tend to in their books. We used a traditional college A&P book with Kolbe plans. It had online exercises but we didn't do labs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
