Our class spent some time Wednesday reviewing several hands-on activities for an upcoming outreach event planned for Head Start. So, apologies for our abbreviated science class. I checked their animal cell homework. The kids worked on egg carton spines and clay models from 'Try That'. I read to them a section on bones from the book and then quizzed them on their understanding orally. One child out of five has an excellent understanding.
The kids cut out paper versions of a Human skeleton to reassemble with paper fasteners. I am learning right along with the little ones. Apart from camps and outreach programs, my experience is mostly with high school students. I've taught Grades 6-8, too from time to time. So, I didn't realize youngsters like to sing while they work or how long it takes to cut. Of course I helped! The kids took home the paper skeletons to finish as homework. Next time we're labeling these and the resin skeleton the kids named Larry.
