Body's Building Blocks Textbook Workbook - Grades 5-6
Description
This volume is divided into two books, Book One and Book Two. Both books are written on a fifth-grade vocabulary level so that either one can be used for fifth or sixth grade. The reason for this is so that multi-grade can combine fifth and sixth grades into one health class. In doing so, you save class time thus giving you more time for the class.
Combining grades means that one year both grades with have Book One; the next year a new fifth grade and last year's fifth students, which are now sixth grade, will have Book Two. Therefore it is important that both books are on the same level (one book is not more important than the other). It is also important that each book is self-contained (they do not depend on each other for information). That way it makes no difference whether a student has Book Two first or Book One. Of course, that makes it necessary to have some facts repeated in both books, but they are given in such different ways that it seems new again. Most knowledge taught in school is repeated and reviewed anyway because that is how the human mind best stores and retains knowledge.
The Body's Building Blocks is the 5th and 6th grade portion of this series by Schoolaid. This level has a student text, teacher edition, tests, and recently added student worksheets and worksheets answer keys. The Student Text is divided into two "books." Each "book" is about 150 pages in length and divided into five units. You get two years of health for one low price! Each unit is divided into parts and a review rounds out each unit. It should take approximately 30 weeks to complete a "book," doing one part of each unit per week. The text is a hardcover book, so students’ complete exercises and chapter reviews on separate paper. Book 1 covers facts about the cell, food and nutrition, blood, safety and first aid, and mental/emotional/spiritual growth. A special feature of Book 1 is “Exercising for Fun and Health”, which includes instructions for a variety of games. Book 2 builds upon the content of Book 1 and continues with nutrition, safety and first aid, structure of the human body, the body's interior resources, healthy personalities, and meeting handicapped people. At the back of the text is a thorough glossary of the terms found throughout the text. The separate Test Booklet includes a chapter test for all chapters in both Book 1 and Book 2. This Teacher Edition includes all student pages, answers to textbook questions and tests, lessons suggestions, and discussion questions. Now available are two booklets of Student Worksheets that correspond with the student text to review the material in a variety of exercises. These include fill-in-the-blank, crossword puzzles, matching, etc. Two Worksheet Answer Keys have duplicate pages with red answers filled in.
