HOMESCHOOL GRADE 3 BIOLOGY LESSON

Hi Everyone,

Well it's the start of a brand new week! This week Juliette is continuing her Biology lessons, we're nearly finished the human body. Today we did the respiratory system. It's Grade 3 Biology, so we keep it simple, just giving an overview.

Very simply put we've taught:

air goes in (inhale oxygen)
nose makes air warm and nose hair filter impurities
air goes down windpipe into lungs
lungs (2 of them) absorb oxygen into blood
air gets xhale (carbon dioxide)

We then did an experiment, being light a candle, cover with a glass jar, when the oxygen is used up your candle goes out! They made me repeat this 6 times!

Then we held each others noses, and soon realised how badly we need oxygen.

They loved this,this is another example of taking normal Homeschool lesson and teaching it in a PRACTICAL HOMESCHOOL way.

Have a great new week.

Blessings
Susan
