I bought this kit because it is full of fun hands on things to do to learn about the human body.

The boys really like it but I would advise getting other resources to use with it.

It does not have as much information as I would like.

We are watching the Magic School Bus movie about the human body to go along with it.

I also borrowed books from the library to go with what we are learning.

This week we have been learning about our bones so I got The search for the missing bones to read at the same time.

I have loved reading it!

The boys retained a lot more information about bones with us doing both at the same time also.

One of the experiments in the kit has you put chicken bones in vinegar overnight to see what happens.

I did not think it did much so I did a search online and found this blog.

He says to soak them for 3 days and gives a really clear explanation on what is happening.

I would advise using his blog when doing this experiment.

We are loving learning about the human body and I can’t wait to continue the study next week!

That being said, if my boys come away from all we have learned this week and only remember they have bones in their body I am okay with that.

I have learned to not have my expectations too high with this age.

They are learning everything for the first time and it is amazing to them to find out they have hard bones inside of them.

I do not want to spend weeks on memorizing the name of all the bones in their bodies yet.
