Anatomy students began the integumentary system on Friday. We started off by discussing what it would be like if we had no skin followed up with a discussion on all the functions skin provides for us. To learn the parts of the skin the students were given 2 versions of a diagram in which they had to sit back to back and use their vocabulary and descriptive words to help each other label the diagram of the skin. This was a fun alternative to labeling a diagram rather than copying it down from the book. It was great to hear them get creative with their descriptions and work together to get the job done. Nice job Anatomy students :)
