I made a little cartoon to illustrate biceps and triceps contracting and relaxing to move the arm. Simply double click on the .html file, and it should open in your browser. Now has radius and ulnar. A preview is available on my web site. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my interactive resources are mini-web sites local to your computer. After unzipping, they comprise a folder containing the main .html file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the .html file and the resource will work. If, however , you move or delete any of the files from this hierarchy, the resource will not work.

I needed a clean, scalable (vector)graphic of fleming’s left hand rule that I could freely use in my resources, so resorted to drawing my own. I thought I would share it. If anyone would like to use the editable SVG version or postscript or EPS etc, contact me.

Open the html file et voila. Drag the descriptions to the correct places and get a prize.

there are many diagrams of the fractionating column out there. I unashamedly drew on many of them as inspiration for this. However, they are almost exclusively low resolution, bitmapped graphics. I have made my version as an infinitely scalable vector graphic. I then used it to make this labelling exercise. Just for the love of it really. I hope someone might find it useful.

Just three diagrams for students to label. I have left the teacher to specify which labels are required. I hope it is of use to somebody , somewhere.
