Simon Says, 'Teach a Little Anatomy'

Funny how we expose children to the terminology of basic anatomy from an early age but we seem to leave off soon after, 'nose' and 'elbow'.

Here is a great little 'game' to foster positive attitudes to Science and teach some of the fantastic anatomical names for the various bits of our bodies. The lesson starts with a little research into where these bits of the body are :)

- gluteus maximus
- nasolabial fold
- clavicle
- scapular
- patella
- occipital lobe
- C1 through to C7
- sternum
- achilles tendon
- lunula
- incisors
- coccyx (kok-siks)

The kids have a great deal of fun doing this Simon Says Anatomy Activity and it only takes 5 minutes :)

Science Education on the Internet

The Internet is filled with fantastic Science Education sites. Get your students out there exploring and reporting back to their peers about what they find. Then foster a sense of community by having them blog their rfindings. This puts their ideas out there for the world to comment on.

NB I've added a few of my favourite Science websites and some tips and tricks that I've discovered over the last few years of setting this task. Check it all out at my Online Science Education page.
