Objectives
The unit "What's Going On Inside My Body?" is designed for second and third grade classes. This unit will focus on how the human body works, and explore what actions can be taken to support a healthy life. Specific emphasis will be placed on how the human body functions. The digestive and nervous systems will be covered in addition to nutritional guidelines.
This unit has four main goals. First, it will introduce students to basic functions in the body and the organs associated with these functions. Second, it will look at the nutrients and minerals needed to maintain a healthy body. Third, it will equip students with tools that empower them to make healthy choices and develop healthy habits. These habits will inevitably produce life long benefits. Finally, the unit will address the current 2 nd and 3 rd grade California State Health Standards and Common Core State Standards.
