Teaching activities
Introduction
Sing, “Head, shoulders, knees and toes” as a class. Or play
“Simon Says” to include major body parts. What body parts do
animals have that humans don’t?
Class work using interactive
whiteboard
Select Ourselves from the Science Clips website. Select the human. Ask
children to explain why the term animal includes humans. What do animals have
in common? Ask a child to choose another animal to place in the viewer. Ask the
class: How does the animal move? Which body parts are used? Click on Labels.
Read through the labels together. Ask a child to drag and attach one of the
labels to the appropriate body part. How did they know? Repeat with the
remaining labels, involving a different child for each.
Group work using a computer
for each group
Allow children to complete the activity in groups. Encourage collaborative
discussion and support.
Plenary
On whiteboard, draw an outline of an animal not used in the activity e.g. a
kangaroo. Ask children to come out and touch and name a body part on the
screen. Rotate the image and repeat. Ask children to come out and label body
parts of the kangaroo, encouraging them to write labels if able or scribing for
them if not.

Extension
Ask children to draw a set of animals that all have a given characteristic
e.g. all have wings, all can swim, and to label as many body parts as
possible.

Suggested homework
Encourage the children to find pictures in magazines, images on computer,
photos of family pets or even other family members and to label the different
parts. Display annotated pictures in classroom as a discussion point.
