Resource:Virtual Brain Surgery Animation & Much More!
Provider:EdHeads: Activate Your Mind
Summary:Age Range: 7-17 (Activities are designed for various grade levels from 2-12. Parental supervision is required.)
This website offers free, colorful and engaging educational animations designed for teachers and students that explain how things work. EdHeads is a non-profit organization that raises money to produce the animations through the ads you'll see on the site. The ads are randomly generated, so AS ALWAYS, parents should preview and supervise use of the site
Description:When you get to the website you'll see an introduction and a menu of the activities that include:

*Design a Cell Phone - Help an engineer design and manufacture a cell phone.
*Deep Brain Stimulation - Assist a brain surgeon to correct a patient's movement disorder.
*Crash Scene - Recreate a crash scene by examining evidence and calculating forces with the highway patrol.
*Virtual Hip Replacement - Become a surgeon and replace a patient's hip.
*Weather - Discover how to predict and report the weather.
*Simple Machines - Learn how simple and compound machines work.

Each animation is narrated (so turn on your speakers) and comes with a "Teachers Guide" that provides the recommended grade level, tips for using the animation in the classroom (that can be tweaked for home education), printable activities, state and national standards, as well as tests and answers.

The site provides the option to see graphic pictures of real surgeries, etc., so again, PARENTS SHOULD PREVIEW TO DETERMINE SUITABILITY OF CONTENT.

Some of the activities and animations provide links to recommended sources for further learning as well.

Enjoy!
