Lesson Planning

Teaching

• Name parts of their bodies.
• Collect and record information about their bodies by observing and measuring.
• Consider and notice patterns between foot and head size and other body measurements.
• Together, make a class wall display of Our Body Patterns, with photographs and measurements, to show their understanding and learning.
• Be aware of the meaning of the phrase: notice patterns and the vocabulary: compare, measure, record, gather.

Activities

1. Be able to name parts of the body.
2. Collect measurements about their hands and feet and record the information clearly.
3. Be able to compare the data and begin to notice patterns.
4. Be able to recognise the meaning of some scientific vocabulary: predicting, measuring, gather and data.
