The Common Sense Science Human Body e-Book is organized into 18 weeks of science at a pace of three days per week. Beginning with an introduction to the program and how to teach using a multilevel approach, the Book provides all the lessons with vocabulary and teaching information and the lab and activity instructions. Lab activities are easy to do at home and use household items. To help students conceptualize, analyze, review, and apply the knowledge gleaned, the lessons each have at least one activity that involves the construction of 3D Graphic Organizers, a sort of cut-and-create method to create individual booklets. The activities focus on skills such as compare/contrast, observation, describing a process, or explaining functions. Most of the activities include writing about the subject matter, although families may choose to orally discuss some of the activities. Graphic Organizer templates are found in the required Student Material Packet e-Book, which is sold separately.

Common Sense Science Human Body offers one semester of study (3 days per week) on the human body. While designed for 3rd-6th graders, there are additional activities for 1st and 2nd grade students, so families (or co-ops) can learn together. Students will learn about the skeletal system, muscles, lymphatic system, five senses, respiratory system, digestive system, immune system, reproductive system, urinary system, and endocrine system. The Human Body Book includes an introduction to the program and how to teach using a multilevel approach, all the lessons with vocabulary and teaching information, and the lab and activity instructions. The hands-on labs are easy to do at home and require household items. To help students conceptualize, analyze, review, and apply the knowledge gleaned, the lessons each have at least one activity that involves the construction of 3D Graphic Organizers, a sort of cut-and-create method to create individual booklets. Graphic Organizer templates are found in the Student Materials Packet. Additionally, students will need index cards, pencils, scissors, glue, colored pencils or crayons, letter-size manila file folders (or 12” x 18” cardstock), multi-color 8.5” x 11” paper, and a large ziplock bag. Parents/teachers are encouraged to include topical library books, videos, or supplemental teaching tools from the internet to enrich student learning. If you are looking for a program where students are spoon-fed information from a textbook and the teacher needs little preparation time, look elsewhere; this is the essence of a hands-on program.
For those who learn best by doing, this approach is well worth considering. The Human Body Book and reproducible Student Materials Packet are required and available individually or as a package in both print and e-book format.
