We just started a science unit this week on the human body and I love the Usborne book we're using. It's called First Encyclopedia of the Human Body. I love the illustrations and I love all the internet links provided.
This is an activity we did two days ago where the girls had to put all the organs in the correct places on Arnold (an animated Arnold Schwarzenegger!).
And the Usborne link for the pages that day (as well as the following days we've done) has all the pictures from the book in downloadable formats. I haven't figured out what we would use them for, but I still think it's pretty cool that they're offered.
Yesterday we watched an animated video about red blood cells and how they travel through the body. The girls were mesmerized.
Today we used a little interactive game (Click on "Human Body" then, in the pop-up window, click on "The Beating Heart".) where we watched a girl's heartrate increase as we made her walk, then jog, then run. Then Autumn took a 10 question quiz on the heart and we printed out a coloring page of the heart.
FUN STUFF!
