Internal Organs of the Body

We're doing The Human Body this month and part of which is learning about the basic internal organs of our body.  This is a timely subject to tackle as my son has been sickly for the past few days because of the changes in weather.

I've always wanted to purchase a human torso model to show how these organs look and how they are positioned in the body.  But the price in this side of the world is ridiculous so what I did was got us a PlayDoh that comes in different colors and create our own model using our Internal Organs Nomenclature Card.

As you can see, we have two versions of the brain: his and hers :)

 

Here my son is working on the kidneys. He's using the cards to create a model.

  

I looooovee how they turned out!  These are my models....

 

.. and here's Mavi's models. 

 

Materials: 3 part card of internal organs and the models. (Click the image below for the link of the cards)  For other cards please check here.

We match the models with the picture cards.

We identified each organs with the labels.  As we do this we discuss the many functions and properties of each organs.

   

Here are the books we used.
