Homeschooling in Heels: Human Body Lapbook January 2011 Update: Just finished some upgrades to the blog, including getting all the lapbooking templates on a more reliable file hosting site. This one has been problematic to download in the past but should work perfectly now (and if not, please let me know!) You can download the template here. Happy homeschooling!!! Original Post: Okay, I love this lapbooking thing. This one corresponds with our human body unit study, so it touches on each of the topics we've taught: external anatomy, internal anatomy, DNA, cells, nutrition, exercise and the brain / five senses. 3 file folders (one for the book and one for each flap)Print out of template2 small paper brads1 fastener (we used this to hold all the handouts for this unit)Scissors, glue, hole punches, ribbon, markers & paintFor the cover: I punched two little holes, tied a ribbon to each and made a bow to hold the lapbook closed. Outside of top flap: When you open up the cover, you'll see the outside of the top flap. Whew!
The Human Heart: An Online Exploration from The Franklin Institute, made possible by Unisys From the moment it begins beating until the moment it stops, the human heart works tirelessly. In an average lifetime*, the heart beats more than two and a half billion times, without ever pausing to rest. Like a pumping machine, the heart provides the power needed for life. This life-sustaining power has, throughout time, caused an air of mystery to surround the heart. Modern technology has removed much of the mystery, but there is still an air of fascination and curiosity. Explore the heart. Soon, your fascination and curiosity may lead to understanding and respect. To learn even more about the heart, try taking a look at some recommended resource materials, enrichment activities, and a brief glossary. Kids can learn more about the heart at Discovery Camp at The Franklin Institute!
How Many Bones Are in Your Body? How does that old song go again? The knee bone’s connected to the…? Shin bone? Thigh bone? Anyway, we were WONDERing about bones the other day and wanted to know how many we had. Do you have any idea how many bones you have? Babies start out with over 300 bones. By the time you’re an adult, you’ll have exactly 206 bones. The axial skeleton contains all the bones in the trunk of your body (that’s the middle part of your body that includes your spine). Bones can be further classified into four categories. You would look really funny without bones. It’s important to take care of your bones and keep them healthy. For example, you can help keep your bones healthy by making sure you get enough calcium. You can also keep your bones healthy by exercising.

The Skeleton Learn about the skeleton and why we need it! © 2012 This website is produced by the Student Recruitment, Admissions and International Development Division at The University of Manchester The Brain and Senses Welcome to the Brain and Senses! Hi, we are Dr Ellen Poliakoff and Dr Luke Jones and we’re experimental psychologists. This means that we find out how people think and how the brain works. When we are not teaching - or lecturing as it's called at University! - we can be found doing experiments in the laboratory. Ellen is finding out about how we move and Luke is doing experiments about how we understand time. Luke's research Do you find that time passes quickly when you are having fun, but crawls along slowly when you have to do something boring? We think that we have an internal clock in our brains that we use to answer questions like these: How long did the event last for? How long will it be until something happens? How long ago did it happen? How well do we remember how long something lasted for? I'm particularly interested in finding out lots more about the latter. Ellen's research
