People sometimes call
the human body a machine-- the most wonderful one ever built. Like a machine,
the body is made up of many parts. Each part of the body, like each part
of a machine, does special jobs. But all parts work together and so make
the body or the machine run smoothly. In this pathfinder you will find great resources to teach your students about the parts of the body and how they work to help the body function. You will also be guided to materials that will help you teach students about the five senses, the skeletal system and many more items that will enhance your human body curriculum. |
