In Mrs. Hopper’s Principles of Health Science class, students studied directional terms. During a fun, interactive activity, they applied what they learned. Students identified and labeled body parts using directional terms such as anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, medial, and lateral. The hands-on activity made learning the terms more engaging and helped students better understand how these terms describe the location of different body parts.
