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 $$$$.

Groundhog Day Resources

 

Groundhog graphic from My Cute Graphics

 

Is it cold where you are???? As I am writing this it is 12 feels like -1. Which would be OK if we actually had SNOW!! But no, no snow here. It snowed in Louisiana but not HERE!! What’s a person have to do???

My point is, I bet you can’t wait for spring, right?? And I bet you are going to be watching ol’ Punxsutawney Phil to see how much longer we have to put with this! 😉 To help you get the most out of Groundhog’s Day I’ll be listing some resources for a unit study!

Now might be a good time to check out weather resources, too! (Scroll down to science to see all of weather resources and activities.)

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).

If you don’t have a Kindle it’s very easy to add the app to your computer, tablet or phone. I think I have it on every device in the house! 😉 The same goes for the Nook. The reason I list Kindle books is because a lot of times you can find them for FREE or very cheap.

How I make worm pudding cups and worm cupcakes. (I wish I had taken a picture.)

Usually I make these every year for Halloween.

 

For the pudding cups-

JELL-O Cooked Pudding (I usually use 2 packages but there are 7 of us!)

1 Package of Oreos – crushed

2 Bags of Gummy Worms

Make the pudding as directed and poor into plastic cups.

Add the crushed Oreos on top.

Now add your worms. (If you want worms in with the pudding, mix them into the JELL-O)

 

For the cupcakes –

1 box of chocolate cake mix

1 container of icing

cupcake liners

2 packages of Gummy Worms

1 package of Oreos – crushed

 

Bake the cupcakes as directed.

When cooled, ice as usual then roll the tops in the crushed Oreos.

Take a straw and insert it into the middle of the cupcakes. This will remove a small section.

Poke a Gummy Worm into each hole.

I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t find more on worms. SIGH… Oh, well… Maybe I will make some more printables before we get to this theme. If I do, I will be sure to share them! 😀
