Drake's West Indian Voyage 1588-1589
     is a lesson investigating maps of a voyage by Sir Francis
     Drake that involved attacks on Spanish settlements off the
     coasts of Africa (Santiago), South America (Cartagena), and
     North America (St. Augustine).  Students examine various maps
     and draw conclusions about individual events and the entire
     voyage.  (Library of Congress)

Slaves and the Courts, 1740-1860

     U.S.  The documents, published between 1772 and 1889, include

Waldseemuller's Map: World 1507
     is a lesson designed around one of the world's most important
     maps.  The first to use the name "America," this map resulted
     from an effort to document geographic discoveries of the late
     15th and early 16th centuries.  Students investigate sections
     of the map and consider what this new world may have meant to
     people in 1507.  (Library of Congress)

Looking Good, Feeling Good: From the Inside Out
     explores bone, muscle, and skin.  Through seven lessons,
     students learn how the musculoskeletal and skin systems work,
     how cells contribute to each system, how the structure of bone
     relates to its function, how body systems interact, and how
     behaviors (such as exercise) and the environment (such as
     sunlight) influence body systems.  Students develop lifestyle
     recommendations for maintaining healthy body systems.

Using Technology to Study Cellular and Molecular Biology
     introduces students to the concepts of scale, resolution, and
     probe size in cellular and molecular biology.  Students play
     the role of a medical team that has discovered a muscle-
     wasting disease.  They must choose which technology to use to
     investigate the disease (e.g., light microscopy) and must
     answer questions: What is the infectious agent?  How does it
     cause disease?  Is there a drug to treat or prevent it?
