Practical Science - Investigating Our Bodies

This morning, J5 and some of J6 were researching the human body as part of our "Keeping Healthy" science topic.
The children were given a variety of books from our school library to use to collect relevant information to help with the task.
They were asked to find out about joints, muscles, veins and arteries.

As you can see, the groups came up with several interesting facts. One group found out that there were 26 bones in the foot.

Here we can see the children carefully selecting a book to help with their research.

The children all had different roles in their groups - researchers, sketchers, group leader.

100% concentration from this group! Do you know where the patella is?

That looks an interesting fact! What is special about the femur again?


This group were fascinated with the intestines.

Why do we have a back bone? Why do we have a skull?

The children certainly found out plenty of interesting facts about the body. They learnt lots and this was shown in our end of day body quiz. Da iawn.
