4. What body part allows us to see things?
EYES; Our eyes have special cells that take in
images.
What body part allows us to smell things?
NOSE; There are special cells that line our nose
that allow us to smell things.
What body part allows us to taste things?
TONGUE; There are taste buds that line our
tongue which allows us to taste things.
What body part allows us to touch things?
HANDS; We mostly feel with our hands and
fingers, but we can also feel things all over our
body because of special cells on our skin.
What body part allows us to hear things?
EARS; Our ears have a tiny drum inside that picks
up the vibrations of sounds.

6. Brain
• The Brain, A Super Computer
• The human brain is perhaps the world's best super computer. The
seat of thought, action and life itself, it sends messages to every
part of the body through a complex system of neural networks. The
brain is equipped with billions of nerve cells that perform this
function. The human brain is three times bigger than the brains of
other mammals that have a similar body size. The right side of the
human brain controls the movements of the left portion of the
body, and vice versa. Your brain weighs only about 3 pounds (1.5
kg), which is only 2 percent of your total weight; however, the brain
capacity is such that it uses up 20 percent of your body's energy,
says Science Kids.
7. Lungs
• Breathing Easy With Lung Facts
• The left lung and right lung aren't the same size. The left
lung is divided into two lobes, but the right lung has three
lobes. The left lung is also smaller than its counterpart
because it has to make room for the heart, which is
situated above it. It is possible to live with a single lung. Of
course, this would reduce your breathing capacity and
would make physical exertion more difficult. It is estimated
that the average person with a pair of inhales 11,000 liters
of air daily, Science Kids says.
8. Heart
• Heart Of the Matter
• The heart is a powerful muscle that never stops pumping blood,
not even for a second, during your lifetime. It beats around
100,000 times a day, 36.5 million times a year. Your heart would
have beaten more than 1 billion times if you live beyond 30. The
heart has four chambers called the left atrium, right atrium, left
ventricle and right ventricle. Of these, the left ventricle is the
largest in size. The chambers of the heart grow in size and
expand when filled with blood. Once this blood is purified, it is
transported from the heart to all parts of the body through the
arteries. The heart then contracts (the chambers shrink in size)
when the purified blood is poured into the arteries. This
rhythmic contraction and expansion is what causes your heart to
beat and is called a cardiac cycle, according to Science Kids.

10. Title: "Head, Shoulders,
Knees and Toes"
• Description: Students will have the opportunity
to
• learn names of many parts of the human body
and how they helps the body function
• healthy. Students will put a skeleton together to
create a full human body.This
• lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls
Engaged in Math and Science
• University, GEMS-U Project.

12. Does a girl on a tightrope carrying a sandwich have a balanced
diet?
Well it depends what's on the sandwich!
Eating a balanced diet just means that you choose foods in the
right amounts from each of the food groups. Let me show you
how it works.

18. Meat, Poultry, Fish, Beans, Eggs, Nuts
Beef, chicken, fish Small portion
Egg One

19. Sweets, Cakes, and Soft Drinks
You may have one small serving of cake or
chips, but not all of them! Soft drinks usually have
a lot of sugar in them which you do not need.
Try to make sweets a sometimes treat rather than
every day.
23. • Joints occur where two bones meet. They make
the skeleton flexible — without them, movement
would be impossible. Muscles are also necessary
for movement: They're the masses of tough,
elastic tissue that pull our bones when we move.
• Together, our bones, muscles, and joints — along
with tendons, ligaments, and cartilage — form
our musculoskeletal system and enable us to do
everyday physical activities.

25. What are bones made of?
Periosteum – Outer surface of the bone
Compact Bone – The layer you see when you look at a skeleton
Cancellous Bone – Looks like a sponge, not as hard as a compact bone, but
still strong
Bone Marrow – Innermost part of the bone, it’s like a thick jelly, and its job is
to make blood cells
26. Spine
The spine lets you twist
and bend, and it holds
your body upright. It also
protects the spinal
cord, a large bundle of
nerves that sends
information from your
brain to the rest of your
body. The spine is special
because it isn't made of
one or even two bones:
It's made of 26 bones in
all! These bones are
called vertebrae.
27. Ribs
Your heart, lungs, and
liver are protected by
your ribs. Ribs act like
a cage of bones
around your chest. It's
easy to feel the
bottom of this cage by
running your fingers
along the sides and
front of your body, a
few inches below your
heart.
28. Skull
Your skull protects the most
important part of all, the brain.
You can feel your skull by
pushing on your
head, especially in the back a
few inches above your neck.
The skull is actually made up of
different bones. Some of these
bones protect your
brain, whereas others make up
the structure of your face. If
you touch beneath your
eyes, you can feel the ridge of
the bone that forms the hole
where your eye sits.
