8. Activity # 1: Create your human body Materials grocery brown bag pictures of the 6 organs glue scissors strip of construction paper long enough to go around your head crayons or coloring pencils Stapler and staples Directions: Color the pictures of the organs. Cut a head and arm openings. Cut the pictures and glue them. Glue the brain to the strip and staple it on your head. Department of Mathematics and Science

9. Activity # 2: Making a model of the lungs Materials: 2 paper bags Colors or crayons 2 straws Scotch Tape Directions Write left and right lung on each bag. Attach a straw to each bag using the Scotch tape. Cross the straws on top and tape them together. Now blow in and out through the straws. What happens to the bag? Discuss how the model is similar to how our lungs breathe? Department of Mathematics and Science

10. Activity # 3: Place the organs where they go Color then cut the silhouette of the child and all the organs. Paste the organs where they belong and label all six. Paste the completed silhouette on your journal. Write a sentence about the function of each organ. Department of Mathematics and Science
