Anatomy Models Are A Great Teaching And Learning Resource And Not Just Toys
Body structure models come in all shapes, sizes, designs, colorings and materials. If you want a model of the eyeball, a cross-section through a heart or a full model of a woolly mammoth then chances are somebody has created and created it. Most folks may have come across the life-size skeletal system in their high school science course, however do you know you could find scaled-down versions useful for implementing in the home. Models are usually an ideal way for college students of all age range to discover, especially within a home education environment in which you do not have access to a full science lab. Visual and sensory learners will probably profit tremendously through becoming able to touch, feel and look closely at a model. The versions with detachable components are particularly excellent for all those best suited to a hands-on learning style.
In a number of cases a model can take the place of having to do unwanted dissections – although a model in all honesty will never be better than the real thing but can only provide a good insight. Some models are such good quality and have detailed information thus they are suited for medical instructing purposes. Before obtaining any models read the explanations fully to make sure they are take apart models, the size you are looking for, check the materials for durability (plastic or foam) and also read any available customer reviews to see if there are any issues with the product quality or manufacturer.
If studying human anatomy then there are models of the head, brain, torso, organs, nerves, skeletons, hands, eye, ear, teeth, heart and skin for example. Four Dimensional (4D) models are not restricted to human anatomy either, you can find models of dinosaurs, horses, dolphin, tarantula, snail, mammoth, sharks, pigs, cows, dogs and frogs.
When obtaining a model for education purposes and not just as a gift for say a medical student or a doctor to lighten up up his consulting room then consider adding extra value to your gift with a book about the part you have bought or even a poster explaining the anatomical functions in even more detail. For example when purchasing a skeleton, buy a poster that names all the individual bones and accompany that with a book about the human body and you have the perfect educational package.
Do something different and give an educational gift and watch how learning progresses. These models also make excellent novelty gifts for those people who are really hard to buy for-you know the people who have everything and don’t need anything!
