One of our bicepfavorite activities includes the offline investigation called, “Chew, Chew, Chew.” In this lesson students will learn the importance of breaking down food into smaller pieces when they eat. The students will collect data to determine how fast “food” digests in vinegar. This allows them to use multiple tools including measuring cups, stop watches, data tables and graphs!

 

In the Connection to the Arts activity found in Session 5, students will play, “Pin the Heart on the Body.” This activity provides students with the opportunity to review organs and their locations on the human body. The rules are similar to the similarly-named, age-old party game!
