Lesson Plan

The Human Body Lesson Plan

Your child or students will feel their own bones, count heartbeats and turn crackers to mush in a model stomach.

This five-day human body unit has a ready-to-teach plan for three levels, Littles (K-3), Middles (4-6) and Bigs (7-8), for siblings or a mixed classroom. Each day follows the same simple rhythm, ending with Friday Show and Tell. Littles hunt for finger bones and build a paper arm that bends when a yarn muscle pulls. Middles tour six body systems, graph their pulse, and squish crackers through a digestion model. Bigs read Harvey and Beaumont, collect heart rate recovery data, and test the enzymes in saliva and fresh pineapple. Exercise is always at each child's own pace.

Perfect for homeschool families, multi-age classrooms, life science and health units.
