Human Body Unit Study Resources

 

Graphic provided  by The Graphics Fairy

 

 

We did a study unit on the human body about 3 years ago. The kids had a blast with it!!

 

Here is the finished human body sticker poster from the Magic School Bus Human Body Science Kit.

 

 

This is the cover of Cailey’s lapbook. She filled in the organs and some of the muscles and bones.

I wish I had taken more pictures of our activities but this was before I started blogging.

 

I found a TON of great resources, even more than I found 3 years ago!

 

 

As always, I try to include resources for a variety of ages. All books can be found at your local library, on Amazon or Paperback Swap (you should really check out this link).

All printable resources are free unless marked with $$$$.

Vincent van Gogh – Unit Study Resources

 

Vincent van Gogh is one on my all time favorite artists. There’s just something about his works, his style,  that speak to me. I love the colors and textures of his painting. Beautiful.

Tomorrow is his Birthday and I thought it would be the perfect time to put together some resources for a unit study.

 

 

As always, I try to include resources for a variety of ages. All books can be found at your local library, on Amazon or Paperback Swap (you should really check out this link).

~*~Butterfly Resources~*~

 

 

We are right in the middle of our butterfly kit!! Our caterpillars JUST forms their chrysalides this weekend! YAY!!!

 

 

This is what our caterpillars looked like when we got them in the mail on February 28th.

 

 

This is what they looked like just a day or 2 before they started making their chrysalides.

 

 

Here are the chrysalides that were made over the weekend!

 

I worried that I jumped the gun on ordering the caterpillars but the kit says as long as it is above 55 degrees when you release them then they will be OK. SHEW!!!

We should have painted lady butterflies in 7 – 10 days!! YAY!!!

I purchased our kit at Toys R Us but you can get the same kit on Amazon. WOW! I should have waited and bought mine there! LOL It’s on sale right now!!!

 

As always, I try to include resources for a variety of ages. All books can be found at your local library, on Amazon or Paperback Swap (you should really check out this link).

Michelangelo Resources

 

 

 

Today, March 6th, is Michelangelo’s Birthday! I’ve put together a list of resources to study this amazing artist.

Hopefully my power will stay on long enough for me to finish this! It’s flickering today! It was out twice on Monday, once for 3 hours and once for 7 hours. Then it was out again on Tuesday for a couple of hours. I am writing this on Wednesday and praying that the power stays on ALL DAY TODAY!!!

We just had our 3rd ice storm of this winter and it’s by far the worst. We lost a ginormous tree in our backyard. We were so very fortunate that it just scraped the house instead of falling on it.

ANYWAY, on to the resources!

 

As always, I try to include resources for a variety of ages. All books can be found at your local library, on Amazon or Paperback Swap (you should really check out this link).
