This is my last post of my Human Body series.
After we go about the internal organs, I made my son do this puzzle which I bought when we were in Singapore. It’s actually an eraser LOL and I got it for less than a dollar :)
And then we worked on the nomenclature cards which I got from Montessori Print Shop.
Hope you enjoy our Human Body unit study! Hope to be more creative the next time we visit this unit ;)

This is the second part of our unit study of the Human Body. After we have formed our Skeletal System, I introduced to Mavi the internal organs of the human body. We started with the brain of course...
BRAIN. I printed a black and white image of the brain and colored it to save ink. I talked about how important the our brain is, how it controls every senses we have and affects how we think or respond to certain event. And I added that it is very delicate that’s why we should avoid banging our head so as not to damage the brain.
LUNGS. Our lungs looked funny because they were too small LOL. Important thing for him to remember her is that we use our lungs to breath.
Then I showed him how lungs work using a plastic. He can’t resist though and wanted to try it too.
LIVER, STOMACH, INTESTINES. This part seems a little complicated to him. I just described this system on a level of a 4yr old :)
BLADDER. The organ that holds the urine (waste water) is the bladder. He’s interested with it because he’s always curious how and why he urinates.
These are the basic organs that I think are essential for my son to learn as he keeps on asking about his body. I think it’s not that much though... I just picked the ones I know his brain can digest easily. We’ll definitely revisit this subject next year!

My son enjoyed making different lines using marker pens. Next would be using paints :)
