Creating a Homeschool Unit: HUMAN BODY

The speaker introduces a new approach to creating a human body unit for homeschooling. They plan to share their process, including what has worked so far and what they hope to improve upon. They mention that they will provide updates at the end of the unit. The speaker is inspired by other homeschoolers and uses resources from Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest. They discuss their chalk wall, which is inspired by Serena's chalk walls, and how they use it to organize their unit. The human body unit is part of the science curriculum from 'The Good and the Beautiful,' and the speaker plans to expand on certain topics, such as DNA, based on their children's interests.

The speaker details their process of planning the human body unit, starting with an InDesign document where they outline the unit's title, chalk wall design, resources they already have, and resources they need to buy. They also plan field trips and educational videos from Netflix and YouTube. The chalk wall is used to highlight the body systems covered in the unit, with some customization based on their children's interests. The speaker also discusses the 'Human Body Notebook' by 'The Good and the Beautiful,' which includes a table of contents, lesson plans, and resources for teaching older children. They mention laminating vocabulary word cards and organizing lesson materials in pouches for each student.

The speaker shares additional resources they are using to expand on the human body unit. They mention 'Tube Toob' models of human organs, which they found on Pinterest, and various books from Usborne, including 'See Inside Your Body,' 'The Big Book of the Body,' and 'Shine-a-Light Books.' These resources are used to provide a more interactive and engaging learning experience. The speaker emphasizes the importance of leaving these books out for children to explore and discover on their own, which encourages independent learning and curiosity.

The speaker introduces interactive learning tools such as human anatomy models, a Melissa & Doug anatomical figure kit, and 'Professor Noggins' human body card game. They also discuss books like 'How Does Your Brain Work?' and 'The Magic School Bus Presents the Human Body.' The speaker emphasizes the value of hands-on learning and the importance of making learning materials accessible and engaging for children. They mention using x-rays with a light box to teach about bones and various body systems, highlighting the fun and educational nature of these resources.

In the final paragraph, the speaker summarizes their approach to creating and organizing the human body unit. They emphasize the importance of planning ahead and gathering all resources before starting the unit to avoid scrambling during the school week.
