Make Room Monday #6 on a Wednesday: AIMS From Head to Toe

I know it's not Monday, again, but I can't help but take advantage of the Curriculum Clean-Out linky party over at Homeschool Creations. So I have to keep posting more. Don't worry, my shelves are still over flowing so there's still plenty of free curriculum to be had.

Today I'm offering up a wonderful science resource, From Head to Toe, from the AIMS foundation. If you have plans for studying the human body then this gem is for you. And it comes with a CD of the printables which is wonderful because the book is huge and that makes copying hard. We really enjoyed the activities in this book.

About From Head to Toe

This revised edition of From Head to Toe, which includes 25 new activities, will guide students in explorations of the systems and senses of the human body. Students will look at how the nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and musculoskeletal systems work together to keep us alive. They will also explore how our sensory organs provide us information about our world.

Students will be engaged as they create models for each system and see firsthand how things really work. In the activity “Breathe In, Breathe Out,” students will use a two-liter bottle, balloons and straws to build their own set of “lungs” and to see what happens as air is inhaled and exhaled. In the activity “The Food Tube,” students will work as a team, creating a life-size tracing of a classmate and calculating the length and location of the digestive tract; they will be amazed as they discover the crepe paper used to represent the small and large intestines measures up to five times the height of the body.

Teachers will enjoy the flexibility that From Head to Toe offers, as they can adjust the depth of each unit to fit the needs of their class. They will also find the rubber band books—small books the students assemble and hold together with a rubber band along the spine—ideal in providing necessary content and relevant information.Whether building a model heart or acting out the actions of neurons as they transmit messages to and from the brain, From Head to Toe provides a broad, complete look of the human body that will engage students as they learn about their magnificent bodies.
