 Paper, pens, pencils, pencil crayons, etc. Construction paper

Here are some options to use to record your childs learning and to submit for portfolios. There are many websites and yahoo groups which have a lot of information as well as free resourcesjust do a search!

Big Book of Books and Activities: an illustrated guide for teachers, parents, and anyone who works with kids! by Dinah Zike is available from the HCOS library
http://www.dinah.com/ About Lapbooks and Lapbooking Lapbooking is the term for taking a paper file folder and refolding it so that there are two covers on the front. It is held vertically, with the 11 inch long side being held in a vertical position. It is refolded so that one cover opens to the left and the other cover opens to the right. This lapbook is dedicated to one topic of study. The child then makes miniature books and little folded flaps about content of that subject area. Those little books are glued to the inside of this lapbook. Extensions can be made, with card stock paper or tag board paper, to make the lapbook have more surfaces in which to place books. The cover can be decorated. About Notebooks and Notebooking The big difference between notebooks and lapbooks is that in lapbooking the information is made into tiny books which are glued inside of a file folder. With notebooking a child may make little books but they are glued into pages which are 3 hole punched and put inside of a 3 ring binder notebook. With notebooking, regular pages can be added as well as pressed leaves or other objects. In other words the notebook pages might just be flat and not have "mini books" in them. Also some people use notebooks like scrapbooks and can add in things like pressed flowers, real dried leaves, photographs your family took, et cetera. Notebooking can cover a whole subject such as Ancient History and may hold an inch thick stack of papers, while lapbooking is smaller/thinner and holds less information. Subjects for lapbooking may cover smaller topics such as Ancient Egypt or Pyramids. Sites for lapbooks & notebooking: Homeschoolshare has many free resources! http://www.homeschoolshare.com/lapbooking_resources.php

Human Body Daily Activity List

The following list of lessons is one way of using the resource kit materials to effectively cover the Ministry Learning Outcomes related to the Human Body. Advance Preparation:

If you want to do the heart dissection investigation in lesson 10, contact a local butcher to ask about acquiring a pig or cow heart on or about the day that you will do lesson 10.

Ongoing Unit Activities: System cut-outs are included for your child to complete a life-sized diagram of the human body and its systems. After each system is studied a part of the body representing that system can be added to a cut-out of their own body (traced and cut out of large-sized paper). You may want to have your child keep a journal of responses to activities completed throughout the unit.

Unit Study Notes:

A variety of activities and readings are included in each lesson. The activities listed as AIMS activities are an excellent way to cover the content, but some parent reading and preparation is required in advance. This unit makes extensive use of the teaching resource Your Body and How it Works by Pat and Barb Ward. There are too many question/answer activities to complete for the days provided, but the description of the functions and roles of the body systems are written in a practical, easy-to-understand way. It is suggested that no more than one set of question be completed per day. Family discussion is a great way to get around the volume of questions. The question lists would make great interview scripts for a cassette to include in a portfolio.

The daily lessons include more activities than you may need for your child to fully understand the concepts covered. Feel free to add or omit activities as you like. The United Streaming website is composed of a variety of educational videos corresponding to the lesson topics. They are put out by Discovery Schools and though effort was made to incorporate purposeful, worthwhile videos, they may not reflect a Christian viewpoint.
