Over the past few months we have been learning about the human body. We've made models, watched videos, had guest speakers (thank you moms, dads and grandmas!), done experiments, dissected organs, gone on field trips, done extra research and much more. Even in PE we've been learning about the proper care of our bodies through exercise and eating well. During a recent cardiologist's visit the students made interesting observations and asked very astute questions:
"What do you like about your job?"
"How many people have you saved?"
"It looks like a very scary branch!" (When looking at the arteries of the heart.)
"That's so cool!" (When seeing a stint on an x-ray that saved a person's life.)
"Your job is like doing video games!" (When Dr. Guerra told us how he does heart surgery by looking at a screen.)

The Navigators and Explorers shared their
human body models and what they have learned with the whole school.
We had fun making our models.
Siri let us know that a child's small intestine is 20 feet long.

So, how long is 20 feet?
Stuffing our guts!

We had fun designing our own stethoscopes.
This stethoscope doubles as a horn.

Not so pleasant
Do I have to?
You go first.
Not so sure
Very sure!
