Simulation Game

 Medicine past and present

  1. Students play the game and then write a compare and contrast journal entry of medicine through the ages.

  Interactive stories

  Medicine through the ages

  1. This is a comprehensive, interactive site about medicine through the ages. It has a Shockwave version and a regular text version. The language may be a bit difficult, so I would recommend doing some vocabulary building before students independently work on the site.
Human Body Tour Human Anatomy
  1. This site a has a cool simulation that shows kids what it takes to be a doctor. It is under the "Projects" button. Students have to read charts to see their rotation, diagnose patients, etc.
