Fun With Science

We have been studying the human body for the first part of the school year. Our texts are The Body Book, First Encyclopedia of the Human Body, and The Human Body for Every Kid. This past week we studied the heart and cardiovascular system. The Body Book has been a hit with us! It is a book of models that are constructed with paper -- a really neat way to learn!


Our heart model -- opens up to show the inside


Veins and Arteries

Skin


Joint Types

Parts of Brain


Nerves Notebooking Page

Skeleton to which we add internal organs

Our study of the human body has given us a sense of wonder and awe for our Creator. Our bodies are amazing machines! Yet they are fragile and we depend upon our God for our every breath and heart beat.
