week 5

Who know Anatomy could be so taste! Each kid made an edible cross section skin cake. It had three layers, each representing the different layer of skin. Blood vessels and nerves were made from fruit leather. Nuts were the nerve ending and licorice for the hair. In addition to this taste science demonstration we did some fun experiments.

week 4

Hey your epidermis is showing! This is what I said to each kid until someone asked "What an epidermis?" We then learned about what three things the skin does for us but watch a short youtube video. Next we applied what we learned from the video by making our flaps and after that the kids were given an out line of the human body, each time a new system is taught they will add to they poster. We also looked at what skin cells look like. We finished things off by doing an experiment.

Another great day in Anatomy Class

Week 3

Thursday's lesson was sweet!
First we watching an amazing video about what a cell looks like inside. The students were not told what they were watching, their comments were amusing as they tried to guess. 
Next, we compared a cell to a city where each organelle has a job. While they watched a power point presentation, we did a flap were they matched 10 different organelles to their functions.
We wrapped the lesson up by decorating cell cookies. Each topping represented a different organelle.
Next week we'll be discovering about the largest organ.
Have a great week!
