➤Teaching virtual students this year?
All student pages and presentations included in this curriculum are available in PRINT or DIGITAL through Google Slides™ to be completed at home or in a 1:1 classroom. Students can view the PowerPoint at home, type on the pages, fill in diagrams, and even color Doodle Notes™! These digital pages work for any learning platform in which students can access Google Slides™ (Google Classroom™, Microsoft OneDrive™, Canvas™, etc). If you’re not sure whether the digital version will work for your students, just send me an email at su*****@*************ce.com and I can give you a free sample to test.
I have taught Anatomy & Physiology both in classroom settings and virtually through homeschool courses, which is why all of my dissection labs include video demonstrations as well as in-class instructions. Although this course was not designed specifically for individual homeschool use, the materials and resources included can be easily found at home and/or completed in a virtual or homeschool setting. If you’re looking for a homeschool Anatomy course for one student, please check out my website.
➤How does this course prepare my students to succeed in higher education?
The editable Cornell notes used in this course are a great tool for students to use in college and beyond. Guided notes with blanks are included as students learn note-taking skills. Because the notes are editable, scaffolded sections of the Cornell notes can be removed as student skills progress, providing a more challenging and realistic note-taking experience.
Extension pages included in this course provide an increased depth of knowledge and opportunities for scientific literacy, reading comprehension, critical thinking, data analysis, and math calculations. These skills are crucial for success in standardized tests like the SAT & ACT as well as in future science and medical courses.
I use Greek and Latin prefixes, suffixes, and roots in context. A list of these terms is included in each unit and I encourage my students to practice these regularly. Familiarity with these terms allows students to understand and memorize new terms more easily and allows them to be more scientifically literate citizens.
To add additional rigor to the course for students interested in the medical field, try adding my Anatomy Case Studies (not included) to each unit.
➤What textbook can I use with this course?
All units in this course are comprehensive enough to stand on their own without a textbook. Should you choose to use one, though, you can simply match the body system in your book with the one in my course. Most textbooks have the body systems in the same order as this course, meaning nearly any book would fit.
This course follows the topics and level of detail in Pearson’s Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology quite well, which many A&P teachers use. For other textbook suggestions, simply send me an email at su*****@*************ce.com.
➤Can I edit these resources to fit my needs?
Some of the files in this course are editable. The text on the PowerPoints, Cornell Notes, and task cards is all editable so you can adjust the level of content and wording. The pacing guide, printable unit tests, and online quizzes through Google Forms™ are all fully editable. Labs, activities, extension pages, and any images included in this unit are in non-editable PDF formats to protect my intellectual property rights and those of the illustrators whose images I’ve purchased for use in this resource.

Everything you need to teach a HS A&P course! I supplement some Honors materials but overall very pleased!
Brian S. –
I was looking for a way to change up my curriculum. I have been teaching A&P for over 15 years and I wrote the initial curriculum I currently use. Each year I change it up a little bit by searching new resources, but my time grows increasingly thinner each year. This was a way to start over without the immense time investment. I love how the package includes pretty much everything I need, and I especially like how the notes marry up with the google slides. That’s my favorite part!
Claire J. –
This well designed, engaging, organized curriculum has saved my sanity!! My students enjoy the labs and I love the digging deepers that stretch their knowledge. It is easy to modify if you need to add or skip over sections. It comes with literally everything you need to be able to teach the class!

I purchased this yearly curriculum on TPT this past spring because I was so disappointed with another year-long curriculum for A&P. Suburban Science is always a win. Very easy to use and very few mistakes in content. I have taught A&P for close to 20 years now at the college and high school levels. I have found many to either be too high for my elective course or lacking in fun activities. I love this curriculum because it’s easy to use and does a great job of balancing being too much information and keeping content approachable for my ‘on-level’ students. I even use some of this for my college students (both duel enrollment and in actual college) because it’s so versatile.
Karin T. –
I started using this resource to help some of my students who needed guided notes, and I fell in love with the extra resources and activities. It is so easy to use as a standalone curriculum or to give your current one a little fun!
Megan C. –
This made teaching Anatomy so easy! Lessons were great and easy to follow! Definitely loved this curriculum!

I have been using this curriculum with my high school classes for a couple of years, and it is has great activities for each unit!
Bethany G. –
Coming into teaching as an experienced RN without any clue on how to build curriculum, this set was perfect and easy to follow requiring little prep. I also appreciate the creator being responsive to my emails and questions so I could ensure I was aligning my content with the appropriate TEKs.
Dale G. –
This saved me a lot of preparation time! The activities were well designed and gave my students multiple opportunities to practice the material. The content was appropriate for high school Anatomy and easy to incorporate into an existing unit.

Anatomy resources I’ve used in the past have been way to above grade level for my students and this curriculum so far has been spot on.
Lena L. (verified owner) –
I went back and forth about purchasing this curriculum, as I already have an anatomy bundle from a different TPT resource creator. I am SO GLAD that I purchased this curriculum!! I love the layout and organization–it just makes sense to me. I appreciate the pacing guides, as they seem realistic for what my students are capable of completing in an average class period. I am always impressed with your resources and this one does not disappoint!! Thank you for organizing the materials in a way that WORKS for me and my students. I have no doubts that you are saving me blood, sweat, and tears with this bundle. Appreciate the hard work that was put into this!!– OH and differentiated notes AND doodle notes?!? *chef’s kiss*

My students love the guided notes and the lessons! I use this for my semester long A&P class. I have to cut some things out because it is set up for the year, but it works great for what I need. This curriculum is rigorous and well organized. There are enough labs and activities that are engaging as well. It is also nice to have digital assessment options. I use multiple curriculums from this seller and they are very well-done. Thank you!

I love this! This is the second semester that I have used this with my class. I love that the notes and activities are easy to use and relevant. I use the Cornell notes in class and the doodle notes as a graphic organizer to review for tests. The labs and real-life scenarios have made teaching my class so much easier. I love that everything came organized and answer keys provided. This is a very high-quality resource and it matches my Anatomy textbook.

This is a game changer. I am so glad I purchased this bundle. Everything is so organized and aligned with the standards. There is a lot of flexibility built in, as well as opportunities to differentiate.
Susan G. –
We love it! Thank you so much for making it available. I just wish there were some review puzzles etc for tutoring. But I have truly used and valued your resources.
Kylee Robinson (verified owner) –
I have used this bundle for the past 2 school years. What a lifesaver it was!! Having this bundle on-hand reduced my stress level all year long. I appreciated that students could have a choice in the form of notes they could take, the slides were clear and easy to follow, and well organized in the folders. Not every activity translated well to a public school course where I’m teaching 150 students (mainly activities involving food), but I could usually tweak materials to work for me. Highly recommend for new anatomy teachers to start strong.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this bundle! I’m teaching A&P for the first time this upcoming school year, and this has saved me so much headache for planning over the summer! I love how basically everything is editable and is ready to use! This has been a HUGE timesaver! Thank you for making this bundle and saving my sanity!
Hillary S. –
As a first year teacher, I began the year using another curriculum but it was too much for my students. I found this curriculum, purchased one unit to try it out, and I LOVE it! I love it so much I purchased the entire year! The Cornell notes are great, they are easy to follow, have pictures/diagrams, and teach students about note taking. Activities are fun and engaging! So glad I found this!
Kristen C. –
This is a great resource for my class. I have had to adjust it a little to fit how I want things but it has been very helpful.

Ashley P. –
I am a first year teacher with 2 preps, A&P and Bio. Suburban Science has taken all the hard work out of teaching prep! I am so thankful for the beautifully designed power points. My students are thankful for the easy to understand notes! I have had a lot of questions :), and SS has been super helpful and quick to respond. I have also purchased the case studies units. I can’t wait to incorporate those this week. Thank you!!
Rebecca S. –
My students love the real-world application of this curriculum! I can adjust the assignments based on individual student ability levels and that is so helpful for planning and differentiation! Excellent resource and so easy to use and implement!

I absolutely love this resource. It is incredibly easy to use and completely encompassing of all that I needed.
Stephanie M. –
This was an absolute life saver for me last school year when I was told 3 days before school started that I would be teaching anatomy. I absolutely love the Doodle Notes and Cornell Notes and so do my students! Not to mention everything else that comes with this bundle. It saved me so much time!! Thank you!
Katie M. (verified owner) –
Incredible resource and worth the investment. Everything is well organized. The Doodle notes are amazing! This has been such a huge timesaver for me.
Tanya W. –
My students and I have enjoyed using these resources. The presentation slides are clear and let me add any information that I think is needed while the students are able to take notes and pay attention at the same time because the slides are not overloaded with information. It is very well organized and it’s easy to find the activities I need quickly.
Roxanne B. (verified owner) –
I am in love with this resource – aligns with our textbook, and is a fun learning tool to go along with the textbook!
Christy K. –
Great bundle. Everything is organized really well, making it a seamless implementation. Love all the structure of the cornel notes and the images within them, aids in understanding. Going to be incorporating the doodle notes in this year as a review tool. Thank you for such great material!
