How the Body Works

​The second graders celebrated their human body project, “How the Body Works,” with family members and friends starting by integrating a musical element through song and instrumental play.  Students created replicas of each body system and viewers enjoyed video presentations scripted by the second graders explaining their specific body system, how it works, and the necessity of each.  Children then lead family members to their classrooms where they measured a special guest’s digestive system and recorded the data.  Afterwards, they shared their small moment story, written from the perspective of a cookie, traveling through the digestive system.  Through both independent work as well as cooperative group work, these children generated ideas and shared and created plans that were executed in a way that explored the human body and its importance with fun and excitement for all!
