- Build-A-Body is a very cool interactive site that allows students to build a human body, system-by-system. It is an easy to use, drag and drop interface, where students drag and drop the different systems, organs, and bones to build a body. Each system has descriptions and information and there are case studies about diseases. It would be useful for human biology, medicine, or anatomy classes and allows students to learn and explore the body in a visual, interactive way.

Their ancient remains give us the world’s most complete record of the late Cretaceous Period, and provide a rich fossil legacy for you to discover today. Dinosaur Provincial Park, a few minutes drive from Brooks, Alberta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a place like nowhere else on earth!
- Dinosaurs TES Resources: The Mesozoic period may have ended 65 million years ago, but the giant creatures that stomped across the land, swam in the sea and swarmed through the skies still fascinate us today. Whether you are looking for dinosaur-themed counting fun, fossil foraging ideas or a serious scientific debate try these hand-picked resources in class.
