Creator: NIH | visit site

Grade Range: K - 11

This site celebrates the contributions and achievements of some of America’s most extraordinary women physicians. Lesson plans (organized by grade and aligned to national standards) and interactive activities explore a wide range of topics on health, medicine, and related careers. Visit the "Circulation Station" where students can guide a red blood cell through the body and then learn about a woman physician who helped infants with congenital heart problems. You do not have to download Flash, as those activities also come in text only format.
