Skeleton

What would happen if humans didn't have bones?
You'd be floppy like a beanbag. Could you stand up? Forget it. Could you walk? No way.
Without bones you'd be just a puddle of skin and guts on the floor.

Experiment: How Taste and Smell Work Together
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/taste.html
Experiment: How Taste and Smell Work Together
Students learn how to investigate the sense of taste and then find out how to plan and carry out their own experiments. In the "CLASS EXPERIMENT," students find that the ability to identify a flavor depends on the sense of smell as well as the sense of taste. They learn basic facts about sensory receptors, nerve connections, and brain centers.

The Senses

Many of these experiments and activities require children to be blindfolded. Remember that some people may not like to be blindfolded. In this case, have them cover their eyes with their hands.

Dream Anatomy
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/dreamanatomy/index.html
Dream Anatomy
The interior of our bodies is hidden to us. What happens beneath the skin is mysterious, fearful, amazing. In antiquity, the body's internal structure was the subject of speculation, fantasy, and some study, but there were few efforts to represent it in pictures. The invention of the printing press in the 15th century-and the cascade of print technologies that followed-helped to inspire a new spectacular science of anatomy, and new spectacular visions of the body.

Children First
http://www.childrenfirst.nhs.uk/
Coming into hospital can be a daunting experience for anyone. Children First seeks to put children and young people at ease with a stay in hospital by taking away some of the uncertainty - giving them an idea of what to expect, and providing them with a safe, controlled environment where they can share experiences.
Children First is divided into three distinct areas catering for younger children, children and teens/young adults.
These areas seek to put children and young adults at ease with hospital and their health.
Much of TotsFirst is cartoon based, introducing very basic concepts about hospital, for very young children. These pages would be best accessed under the supervision of a responsible adult.
KidsFirst offers a bright and fun way to access information about hospital and health in a safe and non-threatening environment. This includes a hospital tour (where you can find out about different medical staff and tests), information about the body and illnesses, and a wide range of children's own experiences.

Dental Care : 4 2 Explore
http://eduscapes.com/42explore/dentl.htm
This web project provides "four to explore" for each topic.
On each page you'll find definitions, activities, 4 good starting points, and many more links and resources for the thematic topic.
In some cases, we've listed more than four websites on a particular topic. For example, we might provide a few for younger readers and others for more advanced learners.
Each school, classroom, and teacher is unique. As such we didn't try to provide specific activities for particular grade levels. Instead we suggest that teachers explore each link, then design specific, developmentally appropriate activities such as discussion questions, small group activities, or webquests to fit the needs of their curriculum.
The links on this site are safe for children.
