Human Body Replicas

The students created these great human body replicas during our study of The Human Body.  We learned about the various organs and their function including the heart, the lungs, the liver, the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intestine.  As we studied each organ, we colored and cut out the organ.  I traced around each student using butcher paper.  They glued each organ into place.  I liked how this related to our study of maps.  We made a map of the organs.  Next each child colored their replica.  I made sure we had plenty of multicultural markers to match the skin and hair color of the children.  We worked on learning to spell various body parts.  We added three labels to our bodies:  leg, arm, and hand.  The children were very excited about this project.  I enjoy seeing them learn to develop a piece of work over time, rather than in a single sitting.
