Some free stuff we're using for studying the human body:
August 2017: some of the links I originally put here don't work anymore so here are the updated ones:
The website http://www.ue.net/body-eng/ contained the text from 'Your Body & How it Works' by Dr. J. D. Ratcliff, the author of I Am Joe's Body but I haven't been able to link to it lately.
I did find that I Am Joe's Body is now available at Archives.org, which wasn't available when I last covered Anatomy & Physiology.
Khan Academy also have a series of videos on Human Anatomy & Physiology - I haven't viewed these yet but they look like they are for upper level highschool.
The next three videos cover Genetics. They are done quite well but if viewing with a younger child check the third one as it explains fertilisation. It's tastefully done and shouldn't be a problem:
The next two are videos on the Integumentary System. The first one explains the layers of the skin and the second how first, second and third degree burns affect the skin.
This one is a journey through the human eye which I thought was one of the simplest and best explanations I've come across. It only covers the main parts of the eye but enough to make its function clear.

What AO year did you add these in?
Hi Melissa, I used them in AO Year 6 with a 13 yr old. I added in Apologia’s Exploring Anatomy & Physiology to beef things up because my son was a bit older.
