Show it! Group presentation - Skeletons and Muscles - Year 3

In an engaging and interactive Year 3 classroom session on 'Skeletons and Muscles', students are encouraged to delve into the question: "Why do humans have skeletons and muscles?" After a period of learning and exploration, they are given the exciting opportunity to showcase their newfound knowledge to their peers. This activity, aptly named "SHOW IT!", serves as a platform for children to consolidate their understanding and enhance their presentation skills.

Students are organised into small groups, with up to six members each, to ensure active participation and collaboration. These groups are tasked with creating a presentation on one of several key topics related to the human body's structure and function. These topics include the various joints within our body, the role and types of muscles, the importance of proteins, the intricacies of the human skeleton, and the components of a balanced diet. The presentations can be crafted in various formats, with the possibility of staff members assisting by preparing a PowerPoint slideshow to guide the learning journey. This 'SHOW IT!' activity not only reinforces the subject matter but also fosters teamwork and public speaking abilities among the young learners.
