How do our bodies work?
生徒たちはスクールオリジナルの教材を使って身体の仕組みについて学びました。
Our bodies are incredible machines, and learning how all the parts and pieces work together is fascinating for young minds! The kids at Innocence Plus After School Academy are no different — and our coach Anna came up with a brilliant way to teach the topic.
まず、簡単なワークシートとビデオを見てそれぞれの臓器の名前や場所、働きなどを覚えます。そしてパズルやクイズ、なぞなぞで楽しみながら学んだ知識を定着させます。
This unit on human anatomy started with some simple worksheets and videos, so students could learn to identify the many different organs and their functions. Later, they practiced and internalized their new knowledge with puzzles, quizzes, and riddles:
「ふたつあって、息をするのに役立つものはなんだ？」
「肺！」
“There are two of us. We help you breathe. What are we?”
“Lungs!”
ちょうどハロウィンシーズンだったので、ちょっと怖い臓器エプロンを作りました。一生の思い出になるような楽しいアクティビティになりました。
And just in time for Halloween, the final project: Organ Aprons! I love how these are educational, but with just the right amount of “Fun!” and “Gross!” for the season. The organs actually come on and off, making this a wearable puzzle. It’s one lesson these kids will never forget!
