Systems of the Body S.M.A.R.T. Box (Standards-based MediA Resource for Teachers)
Developed by CURRICULUM MEDIA GROUP
The Systems of the Body S.M.A.R.T. Box provides teachers and students with an outstanding blend of multimedia materials designed to illustrate and explain the human body’s major systems. Correlated to Project 2061 Benchmarks for Science Literacy from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and National Health Education Standards, the S.M.A.R.T. Box combines core content, creative activities, a Teacher’s Guide with suggested lesson plans, and a Teacher’s Resource Pack to deliver an enriching and engaging learning experience.
In addition, three types of assessment tools (with answer keys/scoring rubrics) are included to help evaluate learning after each lesson:
• Selected response assessments—questions to test a student’s knowledge (e.g., multiple choice, matching, or true/false)
• Constructed response assessments—exercises to test a student’s ability to convey information and/or demonstrate skills (e.g., fill-in-the-blank, short answer, essay, visual depiction, reading comprehension, outlining, or graphing)
• Authentic assessments—projects to test a student’s aptitude for communicating information and applying it in a new way (e.g., ideas for research papers, presentations, debates, demonstrations, artwork, journals, stories, experiments, or interviews)
Each macroscopic structural and functional aspect of the human body is authoritatively presented. The Systems of the Body S.M.A.R.T. Box will energize your classroom with a comprehensive, research-based multimedia approach to understanding how the body works that provides a balanced mix of videos, CD-ROMs, and posters to support your Science, Biology, and Anatomy curriculums.
