Anatomy models occur in many shapes, sizes, styles, colorings and materials. When you need a model of an eyeball, a cross-section through a heart or a full model of a woolly mammoth then odds are somebody has designed and manufactured it. The majority of folks will have come across the life-size skeleton in their high school science class, but do you know you could obtain smaller ones practical for implementing in your own home. Models are usually an easy way for college students of most age range to discover, particularly within a home school environment in which you do not have access to a full science lab. Visual and sensory learners will probably benefit tremendously from becoming able to touch, feel and look closely at a model. The versions with easily-removed parts are specifically very good for all those suited to a hands-on learning style.
In a number of situations a model will take the place of having to do needless dissections - although a model in all honesty will never be better than the real thing but can only provide a good insight. Some models are such good quality and have detailed information thus they are suited for medical training purposes. Before purchasing any models read the descriptions fully to make sure they are take apart models, the size you are looking for, check the materials for sturdiness (plastic or foam) and also read any available customer reviews to see if there are any issues with the product quality or manufacturer.
If studying human anatomy then there are models of the head, brain, torso, organs, nerves, skeletons, hands, eye, ear, teeth, heart and skin for example. Four Dimensional (4D) models are not restricted to human anatomy either, you can find models of dinosaurs, horses, dolphin, tarantula, snail, mammoth, sharks, pigs, cows, dogs and frogs.
When obtaining a model for education reasons and not just as a gift for say a medical student or a doctor to lighten up up his consulting room then consider adding extra value to your gift with a book about the part you have bought or even a poster explaining the anatomical features in even more detail. For example when purchasing a skeleton, buy a poster that names all the individual bones and accompany that with a book about the human body and you have the perfect educational package.
Do something different and give an educational gift and watch how learning progresses. These models also make excellent novelty gifts for those people who are really hard to buy for-you know the people who have everything and don't need anything!
