Human Body Systems Project & Lift-the-Flap Model w/ Human Body Reading Passages

This unit has always been one of my very FAVORITE units to teach! Kids love to learn about the amazing, surprising, and sometimes downright icky things that happen in their bodies, and this life-size model has the hands-on component to make their learning engaging, meaningful, and memorable.

This resource includes leveled reading passages for each organ and “lift-the-flap” pieces that provide a place for kids to record information directly on their models. Your kids will take learning beyond the textbook to create a life-size human body model on paper, writing key facts about the role of each organ in their bodies.

This resource has been used successfully with students of all ages--from preschool through high school. You'll find hundreds of detailed reviews from teachers across grade levels, below.

This bundle is organized into 4 printable packets with cover sheets:
