Grade Level Elementary and Middle (K-8)

From site:  Choose whether you want to be Strep Throat or the Influenza Virus. Your job is to infect your host as quickly as possible. Because bacteria and viruses know the anatomy and systems of their hosts very well, you need to demonstrate your knowledge of the human body to succeed in infection.

Read the question and click on the correct answer. If you are correct, your infection percentage will increase by 5 percent. You need to infect your host 100% to win the game. If you are incorrect, your host will get the opportunity to fight you by taking cough drops, cough medicine and then antibiotics. If you miss three questions, the host will take the antibiotics and your character will be destroyed.

Visit the website: Blood Typing Game
Free
Grade Level High (9-12)

From site: The Blood Typing educational game and related reading are based on the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which was awarded for the discovery of human blood groups made in 1901.

- What are the different blood groups in the AB0(null) and Rh factor blood group systems?
- Blood typing - how do you find out to which blood group someone belongs?
- Who can receive blood from whom in a blood transfusion?
- What happens if someone is given the wrong blood in a blood transfusion?
- What antibodies and antigens occur in the blood of different blood groups?

In this game you have to blood type three patients and give them blood transfusions. Are you able to do that? If not, maybe you should read the introduction to blood typing "Blood Groups, Blood Typing and Blood Transfusions" before you start, otherwise you will put the patients' lives in danger!

Visit the website: Electrocardiogram game
Free
Grade Level High (9-12)

From site:  The Electrocardigram educational game and related reading are based on the 1924 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which was awarded for the discovery of the electrocardiogram, ECG.

-  For what do we use ECG?
- What does the mountains and valleys of the ECG curves stand for?
- What can you find out about the heart with an ECG?
- What is a cardiac infarction or a bundle branch block?

ECG is used for recording the small electric waves being generated during heart activity, a simple way of diagnosing heart conditions. This game lets you explore the key elements of the electrocardiogram from how to place the electrodes on the body for measuring the heart beats to how to analyze the mountains and valleys in the ECG curve. You are to diagnose four patients – which one has got a normal heart condition, which one is suffering from arrythmia, bundle branch block or a cardiac infarction?

Visit the website: GetBodySmart
Free
Grade Level Middle and High (6-12)

From site:  GetBodySmart represents my attempt to create a fully animated and interactive eBook about human anatomy and physiology. The contents and design of this long-term project are based on my 21 years of teaching this material at the university level.

While it is being constructed, I invite all interested teachers, students, healthcare professions, and others to use the free tutorials and quizzes in GetBodySmart to help explain the body's complex physiological interactions and illustrate its important anatomical landmarks.

The site is in the very early stages of development, and a lot of content is still missing. Please be patient. Even though my pace is somewhat slow, I try to make additions/updates every day. Because this is a large and complicated project, it will realistically take me many years to develop GetBodySmart into a truly comprehensive learning resource.
