Knowing Your BodyActivity : Small WondersBACKGROUND :Finer parts of our body are equally essential for the proper functioningof our body. The nostrils and their mucous lining, eye lids/lashes,fingers, ear muscles, tongue, teeth ,lips etc. play a vital role inconduction systems of our body efficiently. There are certain other partscalled as "vestigial organs," which are present in our body but they don'tcontribute much to the functioning of the body. Examples of vestigialorgans are villi, outer ear lobe muscle, eyebrows, hairand nails.METHODOLOGY:1.Divide the class into groupscomprising two students each.CONCEPT :Knowledge of variousparts of the body, even theminutest one will lead toself-knowledge in childand respect for thosepartsOBJECTIVE :To make oneself aware ofthe need to take care ofthe minutest part of thebody2.3.4.5.6.Each group will be given the taskof finding details regarding aparticular "fine body part". Fore.g. one group works on fingers,the second works on nails, thethird works on hair, fourth workson eyelids and eyebrows, fifthworks on tongue etc. Allotment ofthe "parts" should be done in sucha way that it covers all the majorsystems of the human body.The students should be given atleast two days time to find out relevant information about the bodypart.Every group will do presentations in the class.While one group is doing the presentation, the other students will benoting down the key areas (the function/presence/mode of actionetc.) of the presentation in their science copy.The teacher sums up the exercise by elaborating the importance ofthe "small wonders" on the blackboard.MATERIALSREQUIRED:Copy, Pencil,Crayons orColours,Chart PaperMODE :GroupTIME REQUIRED :30 minutesOBSERVATION:Children already have some prior knowledge about the different parts ofthe body. They will be interested to know the science behind everyorgan/body part irrespective of how small it is.5
Knowing Your BodyCONCLUSION:Our body is a combination of different systems which work collaboratively in terms of functionalaspects of its processes both at cellular as well as sub-cellular level.INFORMAL ASSESSMENT:Divide the students into groups of four(QAXP-Q for question, A for answer, X for expand and P forparaphrase) and conduct a quiz.e.g first group asks a question: What is the role of our nostrils inrespiration?The second group provides answer to the question. The third group explains the role of nostrils indetail while the fourth group summarizes the answer. Every group gets a chance to switch roles i.eif once a group asks a question, the next time they answer the question asked by the second group,the third time a question is asked by a group they expand the answer given by another group, andin the fourth time they get a chance to paraphrase the answer .Highlight the need to be healthy rather than slim. In this context highlight the role of musclebuilding with respect to age, sex and geographical locations.KEY MESSAGE:(i)(ii)(ii)Importance of exerciseSelf-monitoringTeam work.SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES:Ask questions like:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)What is “appendicitis”? What are “villi” and why are they called “vestigial organs”?Conduct simple exercises for increasing the flexibility of fingers.Play a game. Let children look into the eyes of their neighbouring student and watchwho blinks the eyelids first. This exercise will not only help in improving theconcentration levels of a child but will also be a good exercise for the eyes.[Overstrainingof eyes should be avoided. This exercise should never be done if one is suffering from anyminor/major eye infection]Write an autobiography of an ape.[Points to be included:]6(v)-relationship with man-development of body parts-social interactions-beauty both inner and outer-development of the brain-thinking skillsPut on good rhythmic music and let children understand that every part of their body isinvolved in the exercise.
