Lesson Plan: I spend a lot of time on the body systems unit. I got pics off of the internet and traced them onto regular paper and had the kids label and color specific organs specific colors. After we finished talking about the systems I broke them up into groups of 3 ( I have a really small class) and had each group draw a life size picture of a particular body system. The endocrine, digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems turned out really well. You could even have more than one group do the same body system. I used white butcher paper and one group member had to lay on the paper while another traced them. Then they had to draw the body parts where they belong and color and label them. It turned out really well and was quite funny! I also had them individually choose a disease related to a specific body system and they had to research it. They had to identify which body system it affected, how it is diagnosed, symptoms, how it is treated, as well as find pictures to go along with it. Then they had to create a poster and present the information to the class. Also, www.downloadlearning.com has a great interactive presentation on the organs of the human body to introduce them to the unit, if you have enough computers available. Other teachers in my department have also had the kids just break up into groups and research each body systems and create a poster presentation to the class (I did not have a big enough class to do this assignment). I will include the assignment that I have created to go along with the above mentioned website, but you would have to find or create a drawing of the human body with the basic organs pictured to go along with it.
