We started a new and exciting unit on the human body. The all three classes are participating in this unit but is is scaled appropriately- kinders are not asked to do what 3rd graders are.
We started the unit by discussing INTERNAL and EXTERNAL. We explored books about the human body and will continue to do so each time we meet to connect literacy with science. We created a portfolio that they will place all of their activities and handouts in. 1st - 3rd grade labeled the cover of their portfolio with EXTERNAL body parts.
In class the kiddos went on a scavenger hunt for facts about SKIN. We paired the facts with hand/body motions to help us remember what we learned. I also had props to demonstrate the facts.
1st-3rd created a drawing of a cross-section of skin including HAIR, NERVES, LAYERS, SEBACEOUS GLANDS, and SWEAT GLANDS.
