Tunnicliffe, Sue Dale; Reiss, Michael
Science Education International, v10 n1 p29-33 Mar 1999
Describes students' (n=175) understandings of the structure of animal (including human) skeletons and the internal organs found in them. Finds that older students have a better knowledge of animals' internal anatomies, although knowledge of human internal structure is significantly better than knowledge of rat, bird, and fish internal structure.
