Today we finished our Human Body unit in our Nancy Larson 1 Science curriculum. We have LOTS of books to go along with this unit so we read and learned a ton about our bodies. We used The Usborne Internet Linked Children's Encyclopedia, Uncover the Human Body, Your Insides by Joanna Cole, and The Usborne Flip-Flap Body Book. We also read and watched the Magic School us Human Body. We watched several online videos.
We made paper plate skeletons.
We explored how the body processes sugar faster than flour.
We made an esophagus and stomach and used our hands as stomach muscles to digest the bread. They LOVED this.
We also soaked chicken legs in vinegar. The legs were suppose to become rubbery but it didn't work.
We will switch make to Social Studies next week and return to Science in a few weeks to explore insects.
