This book is a collection of fifteen POGIL activities for entry
level anatomy and physiology students. The collection is not
comprehensive: it does not have activities for every body system,
but what we do offer is a good first step to introducing POGIL to
your students. There are some easy and short activities
(Levels of Organization) and others that are more difficult
(Determinants of Blood Oxygen Content).
