leeannpal Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 This is an s/o of the astronomy post. My daughter is interested in studying the human body next year. I've looked at Apologia and Homeschool in the Woods, but are there any other options out there that I don't know about? This will likely be a supplemental science program because we plan to use HOD's Preparing for our main curriculum and will do the HOD science as well.

curlylocks Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 What age group?? Sonlight?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warneral Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ellen McHenry has free printable resources, the body book (I got a copy from the library), scholastic has some great printable booklets (I got them when they were 1.00 through the teacher express sale) http://teacherexpress.scholastic.com/easy-make-learn-projects-human-body . RSO actually has some very fun activities too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeannpal Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Sorry, I did forget her age. She will be 10 and in 4th grade next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankcassiesmom Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 If it's just going to be supplemental, at that age I would just do TWTM style. Stacks of books from the library, narrating or written narrations about each part of the body and diagramming/drawing from the books. My 4th grader just diagrammed the eye last night :) As she learns about each part of the body (bones, heart, etc) cut them out with construction paper and put a body together on the wall. Or get one of the body books that come with some sort of hands on activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok -- so Sonlight might be a little too much, but here's the link: http://www.sonlight.com/science-f.html My personal favorite is God's Design by Answers in Genesis: http://www.answersingenesis.org/PublicStore/product/The-Human-Body-Teacher-and-Student-Pack,6568,193.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybear Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 What about Guest Hollow? http://guesthollow.com/homeschool/science/otters_science/science_human_body.html I didn't realize Homeschool in the Woods had any science. Is that new or is it something else you were thinking of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 :iagree:with the Ellen Mchenry materials and the scholastic one. We have both and like them. Since she's 10 and getting towards puberty age, you might want to use something like American Girl Care and Keeping of You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Mr. Q Life Science is FREE and you could absolutely just download the unit on the human body (it's unit 7). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or get one of the body books that come with some sort of hands on activity. I recently purchased this book from Rainbow Resource. The pages are reproducible, they have a discussion about what each body part does, along with an illustration to color, cut out, and paste on your life-size body outline (traced from your dd's body.) It's really cool! And only $6.50! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
