Human Body book
By love5th

Clip to ScrapBook   
I have my students make a "book" We take a large piece of construction paper (I think it's twice the size of normal paper, the kind that is usually in the art room) and fold it so the ends meet in the middle and there are
two flaps that open like "french doors" for the cover. Then I give them a transparency with the outline of the human body on it. They draw all the organs of a particular system inside with sharpies. They use different colors for each organ. Then on note cards they write the word of the organ in the same color they drew the organ in, and the definition (this makes it color coordinated)
They do this for all 4 systems we covered, and then the put them in the book overlapping each other. This allows you to see all the organs in the body, and you can look at each transparency seperately to see just one system. The note cards are placed on the side flaps and the transparency in the middle. They look great when they are all finished. I hope this makes some sense...it is Saturday morning and my brain is still a little foggy :). Let me know if you need more clarification.
