ISO: Human Body and/or Health Unit Study

[Fourmother]

I'm looking for a unit study on the Human Body for my 2nd and 5th grade sons. My 4 year old daughter will also be tagging along. My brain is fried right now and I would love to have some ready to use lesson plans on hand. Something I could download or find quickly online would be perfect. Thanks!

Would your dc go for that? I have a Human Body lapbook from HOAC that we've been working on. My more crafty dc like it while my other non-crafty ds just tolerates it! But, it's all there for you...the fold-its to print, the information, how to put it all together, etc. You would want to add some colorful books and maybe some projects if your dc like that. VanCleaves Human Body for Every Kid has some neat, easy experiments/projects. HTH. Oh, I purchased the lapbook e-book from CurrClick.com.

Thanks for the lapbook recommendation. I will check it out. In my search I also found a few interesting sites. I'll share them here for anyone else who might find them useful.
