Human Body

Students in all grades have started exploring the human body. We begun by studying our skeletory system. All of the classes started with a jump rope activity where they explored what moved when they jumped. This led to a discussion on the "hard" things inside our body that we can't see, but know are there. We tried to count our bones by feeling our own legs, arms, head and torso. Then we looked at posters to get a more accurate count. More recently we tried to assemble skeletons made of paper - it was harder than we thought. Many people were confused as to why it looked like we had "two" left hands! This led to a great discussion on how our wrist works!
