Online Human Anatamy

Visible Body is an online interactive 3D model of the human body. The model is highly detailed and anatomically accurate - and includes skeletal, digestive and muscular systems (among others). It would be great for studying biology, physiology, or anatomy.
You have to register to get access, and loading can take a little time - and it is […]

Visual Mnemonics

I mentioned in my Times Tables post that we had used visual mnemonics to learn some Italian words, and I thought I would expand on that in this post.
Mnemonic systems were developed by the Greeks (the name being derived from their worship of the Goddess of Memory, Mnemosyne). They discovered that memory worked best by […]

Book Review - Robert Opie Scrapbooks

The scrapbooks compiled by Robert Opie are a delight to look at. The Richard Opie collection is the worlds largest collection relating to British nostalgia and advertising memorabilia. Each of the scrapbook covers a different era, and there are usually separate pages devoted to fashion, groceries, household products, childrens toys and books. Each large scrapbook-type page is […]

Board Game Review - Carcassonne

To keep everyone occupied during the endless ‘2 days before christmas’ period, I presented the family with a new board game - Carcassonne. It is based on the french town famous for its unique roman and medieval fortifications, and won game of the year in 2001.
We have now played Carcassonne several times since we got […]

Book Review - Egyptology

We finished reading Egyptology today. This is a beautifully presented book in the form of the journal of Miss Emily Sands, who sets out to Egypt in 1926 to try to discover the whereabouts of the lost tomb of Osiris. Like a real travel journal, it contains lots of postcards, memorabilia and other […]
