Mind Map the Human Body: Template and Answer Key
This unique resource provides a mind map template and key to teach the human body systems in an effective, engaging, and timely manner. The detailed, step-by-step instructions, as well as a mind map rubric, is available as a free resource as well. Mind mapping reflects the radiant association pattern in which our brain processes information. It is not only an organizational thinking tool, but also a powerful note-making system that facilitates conceptual, whole brain, and associative learning.

Mind Map the Human Body: Instructions
Follow the step-by-step instructions to complete the Human Body Mind Map template in 55 minutes or more. This activity may be used not only to introduce body systems, but also to show interdependence between systems and organs. An introduction to mind mapping and a mind map rubric is included as well. The human body mind map organizes the body systems according to four main functions, which give students the big picture. The subsequent layers add system and organ detail and facilitate cross-lin

Body System Battles - Instructions
Use the Body System Battles to teach the fascinating machinery of life with engaging, time-effective, and interactive methods. This game-based tool will give your students a head start on understanding and memorizing human body systems and anatomy. The 'battle' has both a Gear Up (placement activity) and Engage (game) component. The placement activity combines whole-brain learning and powerful mnemonic techniques to easily teach basic anatomy and physiology. The games reinforce facts to ensure

Body System Battles - System Cards
The Systems Cards page is an optional aid for the placement activity of the Body System Battles. These cards are part of Complexity’s board game ( www.technonature.com/complexity), but here they are helpful to name the banners’ anatomical structures. Print one copy, US Letter size (or A4), per team preferably in color.

Body System Battles - Banner Images
Because they add mnemonic detail to the 3D mind map, banners (images) enable lasting comprehension of the human body’s machinery. Use it for both the placement and game components of the Body System Battles. · The banners represent the functions of the anatomical structures. · By placing the banners on the game sheets (or the game board poster), students can make creative associations between anatomical names, locations, and functions. · The Systems Guide explains the banner associations.

Human Anatomy Worksheet
This worksheet is a foundational tool for teaching human body systems, anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and more. It is unique for two reasons. Firstly, it displays all body systems except the reproductive system. Secondly, the body systems are color-coded to aid comprehension and memorization. I made every attempt to stay anatomically accurate but allowed some minor modifications in order to include as many structures as possible. Note that the body systems are color-coded according to the syst

Body System Battles - Gameboard Poster
Use this colorful and intriguing poster for instruction during the battle preparation time. Even though the drawing depicts a machine-like appearance to engage the imagination, each part closely approximates the correct anatomical size and location. · A 24” X 36” color print should be large enough to use in a classroom. · The poster can also be displayed/projected onto a screen. Teaching tip: Convert the poster into an interactive hands-on tool! Allowing students to place mnemonic symbols

Experience
For the past 17 years, I have taught in a variety of educational environments to include homeschooling, private tutoring, and private school with the focus on high school biology, chemistry, and anatomy.
Teaching style
The responsibility of teaching is humbling as what and how I teach shapes worldviews. My focus, therefore, is to equip students to examine the truth and adequacy of statements before making it their own.
Somewhere along the way, I also figured out what the Chinese knew all along, "Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me, and I'll understand." Though sometimes tricky, engaging students in challenging academic projects with creative and interactive methods always hits the mark.
My own education history
I received my veterinary degree at the University of Pretoria in South Africa about 30 years ago. After coming to the United States, I completed a Masters degree in Neuroscience as well as a year-long small animal internship year at Louisiana State University. Since then, I have been privileged to continue my education through peers, exceptional friends, and online classes.
Additional biographical information
Afrikaner by birth and Texan by choice, I have been on an extraordinary journey. Growing up in the beautiful country of South Africa was quite an adventure, but nothing could prepare me for the ride to come at the side of my husband, Marius.
We met at veterinary school in Pretoria and set out to seek new adventure abroad soon after graduation. Landing in Cajun country, both my husband and I continued our studies at LSU. Years later, the growing Meintjes family settled outside of Dallas where I practiced veterinary medicine, home educated my three sons, taught sciences, and spearheaded several community projects. Naturally, we also had to keep some South African sheep around to teach the boys about life and responsibility.
The intersection of science and biblical truths has long held my interest. Today, this fascination with the created world continues to inspire me to write, teach, and explore the field of life sciences. More about this at www.technonature.com.
