My Body - Presentation
Science Resource Description
The presentation titled "My Body" is a comprehensive exploration of human biology, specifically designed for young learners to understand the anatomy and functions of the human body. The lesson aims to answer two key questions: Can students identify the various parts of the human body, and can they determine which body parts are associated with the senses? Through a series of interactive activities, pupils are encouraged to engage with the subject matter in a hands-on manner. They will learn about the concept of height in the "Tall and Short" activity by comparing their own heights to the tallest and shortest people ever recorded, and discussing factors that influence height such as genetics, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Another segment of the lesson focuses on the "Parts of the Body," where students match body parts to their names and functions, enhancing their vocabulary and understanding of their own anatomy. The "Do Older Pupils Have Bigger Hands?" activity involves tracing hand outlines to investigate the correlation between age and hand size within the class. The "Mystery Smells" experiment allows students to use their sense of smell to identify hidden objects, teaching them about chemicals and how the sense of smell works. Finally, the lesson concludes by reviewing what has been learned, with questions that prompt students to reflect on the body parts responsible for hearing, the role of skin, and the function of thumbs, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the human body and its senses.
