Human Body : Muscle

The next day, I asked him to cover all the body with red crepe paper. Totally I made this for him. We still need to cover this body with skin and clothes and I think we're done. LOL

Human Body : Urinary System

This time we learnt about the Urinary System. He got the explanation from KidsHealth's movie. I gave him a bit explanation about the urine and how urine can detect what happen in our body. Then he colored the picture and pasted it in our human body. 

Human Body : Digestive System

It's time for Digestive System. First thing, we had to watch how our digest works. So we went to KidsHealth.com to see more about it. Then, I brought out his toys. So he could see clearly what's inside our body and also the parts. He looked so enthusiast. I asked him to color the picture to be pasted in our body parts. Now he knows what happens when the food goes inside our body. Great job, boy!

Science : Circulatory System

We continued our learning. This time, we learnt about Circulatory System. First, we watched a movie from KidsHealth.com to know more how heart works. It's also a learning too for me as my biology was never getting a good score in my era. :P

Now we know that the size of heart is just a clench of our fist. It's small but it works so hard in every single seconds. It's never stop working even when we're sleeping. 

After that, we pasted the part of heart. I know he didn't know all the name so well, at least he knew that heart was divided into 4 parts.

In the end, we pasted the vein and artery in our part of body. We used a blue and red wool as a symbol of those. Nice work, boy! ^_^

Human Body : Respiratory System

This week, it's time to learn about the Respiratory System. 

I found the lungs by goggling. I asked Fritz to color the lungs and applied it on our open skeleton. Before, I asked him to watch how we breath in KidsHealth.com. It's a nice resource for kids to learn all about the body. 

I supposed to make a simple experiment about Lungs using balloon but I couldn't find the balloon. Fritz forgot where he put it anyway. So, no experiment for this part. :(

Human Body: Brain

Second Day, we learned about Brain. 

The brain is the most important part of our body. It is the busiest thing we have as it can't stop working even during in our sleep. How big is our brain? It's a very small part and just as big as a soft ball. FYI, whales and elephants have bigger brains than human but human brains are the largest weight all over the body. 

The activity we did were coloring the brains, making the brain puzzle and of course the last one he had to paste the brain into the right place. He knows exactly now why he must wear helmet when riding a bike. It's to protect our brain safety if we should take a fall.

Human Body : Skeletal System

Recently, Fritz always has lots of questions related with part of his body. He asked me what's inside his legs, his chest and many more. And I think it's the best time for me finding more about human body then we can learn together.

After searching for few days and collecting all the resources {then I became so dizzy with lots of materials I've downloaded and forgot which site I've seen before :P}, I think I'm ready to start our first lesson about Human Body.

The first one, we started with the Skeletal System. Fritz of course was so excited to start it. He even offered himself to cut all the skeleton but sorry boy, I think just let me did it for you. It's needed to be cut neatly, honey. 

I bought a duplex paper and some materials we needed before. So the first step was tracing his body on a piece of duplex paper. As he's bigger than the paper so I needed to trace him dioganally. 

Then, I started to cut the skeleton one by one and arranged it on his tracing body. Most of all I made it by myself with less help from Fritz. He just put the skeletons part after I finished with all of those. Badly, his body wasn't as the same high as the skeleton. He's too high. So I needed to modify it and I used The skeleton high and trace it's shaped.

The skeleton itself could be opened. We want to put all the parts of our body inside there. Just wait for the next days, we still have lots of exciting things to be learned.
