HI! I'm a new teacher and I'm hoping to connect with both you and the head blogger at http://sphsapbiology.blogspot.com/2008/10/circulatory-system-lab.html.
I'm going to be teaching an Anatomy and Physiology class next semester and it looks like you all have some great labs I'd love to get my hands on if possible. If you could contact me at rheiss@oxac.org I would greatly appreciate it! THANKS!!!!
