Who We Are


Tuning in : Who We Are


Day 1

Group 1: Students were given a body outline and were asked to draw and mark all the body parts they knew.


Group 2: They were given another body outline along with organ cut outs and were asked to stick them where they think they are found and label them


Group 3: The students were given a skeletal structure made from a paper plate. They were asked to create a human skeleton from it.

Day 2
The students were made to run around the ground and were then asked to think back on what were the different parts that helped them complete this action. Post that the students engaged in a thinking routine using the Chalk Talk method. They looked at pictures of different action and thought about which parts make the action possible.


Day 3
The students looked at a coffee maker, the guts of a computer, a cycle and an electrical circuit.


They were encouraged to find ways to compare the human body to these objects. They explored and noted down the similarities and differences between the human body and a group of non- subject related artifacts ( Circuit, Computer parts,Coffee machine,cycle)



As a concluding activity we came up with what is a "system"


Day 4
Students watched a video and identified the different systems that make up the human body. This extended into a discussion into internal and external organs.

Day 5
The students watched an advertisement as a provocation to the 3rd line of inquiry. The students were asked to think of how this video was related to the different body systems.




Finding Out

The students set out to work on their research project on the Human body systems.

Researching about the systems

Working on 2D/ 3D model of the system


Presenting about the systems

Working on the animation/working model


Going Further

Interdependence of the body systemsAfter researching body systems we made a display on which we showed each of them and, as a result of class discussion, added many strips showing cooperation between systems.
