This is the second part of our unit study of the Human Body. After we have formed our Skeletal System, I introduced to Mavi the internal organs of the human body. We started with the brain of course...
BRAIN. I printed a black and white image of the brain and colored it to save ink. I talked about how important the our brain is, how it controls every senses we have and affects how we think or respond to certain event. And I added that it is very delicate that’s why we should avoid banging our head so as not to damage the brain.
LUNGS. Our lungs looked funny because they were too small LOL. Important thing for him to remember her is that we use our lungs to breath.
Then I showed him how lungs work using a plastic. He can’t resist though and wanted to try it too.
HEART. Heart pumps the blood in our body and that it produces a beating sound. This part he loves the most... listening to my heartbeat! I just hope he still recognizes that sound... he’s listening to it for months while he’s in womb :)
LIVER, STOMACH, INTESTINES. This part seems a little complicated to him. I just described this system on a level of a 4yr old :)
BLADDER. The organ that holds the urine (waste water) is the bladder. He’s interested with it because he’s always curious how and why he urinates. 
These are the basic organs that I think are essential for my son to learn as he keeps on asking about his body. I think it’s not that much though... I just picked the ones I know his brain can digest easily. We’ll definitely revisit this subject next year!
