This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I aims to extend an interactive anatomy-learning environment from undergraduate into middle school and high school settings. Life sciences education in middle and high school is severely limited because of the cost and complexity of authentic laboratory experiences. This project will provide easy access to powerful data sources with tools for manipulating the data for a learning objective. This environment marks a unique approach to the application of computer technology to the K-12 anatomy and physiology curriculum, specifically grades 7-12, but with applicability to K-6. The environment supports an interactive work model where students engage in the same cycle of observation, interpretation, and action that characterized the historic "dissect and sketch paradigm." This environment allows students to produce an individual and unique visual record of their investigations, while they learn sophisticated computer skills, problem-solving techniques, and health science content. The tools resulting from this research will greatly enhance the ability of middle and high school teachers and students to access federally funded anatomical data such as the National Library of Medicine's Visible Human data sets, needed to learn basic anatomy. Providing this experience virtually improves overall access, and providing it early in a child's learning program might increase the number and quality of health care professionals in the future..

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段的目的是将互动解剖学学习环境从本科扩展到初中和高中。 由于真实实验室经验的成本和复杂性，初中和高中的生命科学教育受到严重限制。 这个项目将提供方便地访问强大的数据源与工具，用于操纵数据的学习目标。 这种环境标志着计算机技术应用于K-12解剖学和生理学课程的独特方法，特别是7-12年级，但适用于K-6。 该环境支持互动的工作模式，学生参与观察，解释和行动的相同周期，其特点是历史的“解剖和素描范式。“这种环境使学生能够制作他们的调查个人和独特的视觉记录，而他们学习复杂的计算机技能，解决问题的技术，和健康科学的内容。 从这项研究中产生的工具将大大提高初中和高中教师和学生访问联邦资助的解剖数据的能力，如国家医学图书馆的可视人体数据集，需要学习基础解剖学。 提供这种经验实际上提高了整体访问，并提供它在儿童的学习计划早期可能会增加未来的医疗保健专业人员的数量和质量。
