Medical Terminology- High School Edition. This textbook I found to be an excellent beginning Medical Terminology textbook for those high school students who want to start building a good knowledge base of Medical Terminology. The textbook is broken up into different sections related to the body. The terms that students are learning are terms that they will actually use in a medical setting. It was very easy to follow and the practice as you go questions were a great resource to gauge a students understanding as they are going through the chapters. What I found very helpful is that it had in the Chapter Review real world applications that were much more helpful for students then just doing a crossword puzzle or word search. I found this to be a good learning tool for students.

| Ethnic Studies Ethnic studies in core standards and curriculum should be a narrowly tailored incorporation of age-appropriate opportunities that naturally arise through education without pretextual effort in courses, programs, or activities where ethnic studies is not a primary focus. The material should incorporate a curriculum of people and cultures that reflect the state’s various demographics without commentary that seeks to violate the neutrality standard established in codes: 53B-1-118, 53G-2-103, 53G-2-104, 53G-2-105, 67-27-107, | This item has not been graded. | |||||

| Physical Characteristics | This material goes beyond the content outlined in "Adequate" by incorporating modern, up-to-date, and relatable visuals. | In physical terms, the material is interactive and provides high-quality audio-visual and tactile experiences for all users. | The material offers limited or low-quality audio-visual and tactile experiences for students, but it is reusable. | The content either has low audio-visual quality or is not intended for reuse. | ||
| It was an online textbook with additional options for students.

The chapters are such, that a teacher could break it into a 2 term class with additional study time at the end for Precision Testing. | ||||||
