My favorite thing my mom did when we did the human body unit was that on the first day of the unit we traced our bodies and then as we learned about each different sytem and specific part we colored a printout of that part and added it to our life size bodies. It was SO FUN.

Love this idea!

I teach kindergarten in Australia. When we cover the human body I set up a doctor’s clinic/hospital for the children to role play. I find as the can’t write well early on in the year they communicate their level of understanding through the conversation and play that happens in that play corner. It would be great for your younger 3. It can be super simple or more elaborate. A find a working stethoscope, a few baby dolls and a real life first aid kit is a great place to start. You could set it up near the play kitchen.

What I don't understand about homeschooling is: how do you work with children of different ages, do they all learn the same basic content? How do you get their attention and get them to focus- especially with children with learning disabilities? What do you do with your babies while you give your lessons? Btw I love how organized and resourceful you are!

Look up extraction of strawberry DNA it’s a fun thing for kids of all ages to do and can easily be done at home. In the end you can see the dna and it looks like snot which little boys always love!!

I love how much you care about giving them as much exposure to information as they need but also that you add the things they want to know about. I'm currently in my last year of highschool and have been watching your videos for months now. Angela, honestly your family is such a huge inspiration to me. If I wasn't planning on becoming a special needs teacher, I'd home-school my own kids. Thank you for videos like this. And DNA is interesting. I hope they enjoy learning about that.

I love your taste in books! Makes me wish I had been taught this way as a child. I can guarantee I would have retained more....

We use a trifold/bifold poster board (like you use for science fair presentations) as our science wall. I put Velcro on it as well as the vocab words after I laminated them . That way when finished with the unit study we can use it over and over again.

Dear Angie, your homeschool videos are so inspiring! I work as a teacher in Germany (biology and chemistry) and I am so impressed by you teaching so many subjects to so many children! It must be so much work! Your resources for the human body unit look so fun and interesting and I am sure your kids will enjoy this unit so much - I would enjoy it as a kid! I am looking forward to your next homeschool video! Loves, Anita :)

I absolutely love how you out this unit together! so many wonderful resources! Your kids will love it.

I love that you make education fun for your kids! It's a lot easier to retain when you enjoy it!

I love that you started a homeschool channel! I get so excited for Tuesdays and Thursdays when I hear that notification bell go off.

Confession: i am not a homeschool mom, i'm nowhere near having kids! But i enjoy every single minute of these videos! I was homeschooled as a kid but it was still that rigid setup. You have definitely opened my mind and made me consider homeschooling faaaaaaaar into the future if it's in the plan for me to have kids

In the uk we have a tv show called nina and the neurons might be worth looking into

Hello Angie! I just wanted to let you know that I am a teacher that has worked in mainstream and special needs schools and I adore these videos. Always on the hunt for new and creative lesson ideas.and I believe that you explain what works and why you chose it very well. Love the hands on stuff as often am creating pieces lime that myself (like labels for names of body parts).

For your KZread part I instantly thought of the Once Upon a Time... series. It's pretty old, but I loved it as a child. (It aired on German TV, I had to look up if it had an English translation... ;) ) The Once Upon a Time... Life has episodes for different parts and functions of the body, for example I can still remember the one about the immune system and how it's the body's police ;) I think you can find the episodes on KZread. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time..._Life And if you do a history unit the Once Upon a Time... Man is also very interesting :)

One of our favorite units too! I plan my units this way, except I don't have any room for the chalkboard that I would love. My kids also adore the "Anatomy Apron" that I bought several years ago. They can wear it around and see the various body parts.

I love diving into your brain and seeing how you do this thing. I may do some kind of homeschooling in the future, but for now I just love seeing how other people figure this parenting thing out. Love it!

My dream is to homeschool. My husband is also really excited about it. I love that you started this channel so I can start getting great ideas and keep my excitement up even though people I know think I'm crazy. Thank youuu ❤❤❤❤

Very good explanation of expanding unit study. We are currently studying the universe for about the next six weeks or so. I will definitely be adding resources to expand on it. You and CR are talented artists. The drawings looked great.

Would you consider doing a video with your mother and sisters about their experiences home-schooling or being home-schooled? I'd be interested in seeing how your experience teaching homeschool is different from your mothers, just a thought! I love your channel!

We do the Good and The Beautiful as well with 5 children! I’m so in love with it. We’ve done the space unit and we’re now doing kingdoms and classifications. The Language Arts and History are I n c r e d I b l e⭐️

You are so great at being organized and make learning so much fun and so informative! Great job!

Angie, u really are an inspiration. This video was fantastic, u make it look so easy. I don’t know how u juggle homeschooling and being a full time mummy. An amazing person xo

We love all of the discovery places! It’s the perfect activity for this heat, and last year we even had passes🙃 thanks for sharing! Loving this channel

We are starting our FIRST year of homeschooling tomorrow, with kinder! Using a boxed curriculum our first year while I get my groove-- BUT, we are using TGTB for science! Thanks for the amazing ideas. Working on preparing my space science wall tonight. I'm using a trifold board from dollar tree.

Thank you... I love your videos!! I'm going to start homeschooling for the first time this fall and this video is one I have been searching for. You are amazing!!

I have two boys (ages 6&4) and they love to draw human bodies on our driveway. One will lay down on the driveway while the other traces around with chalk. They both work together to draw what's inside their bodies. They switch among the different systems depending on their interests. At first, they would have questions and we would look up the answers together, but now they can do it on their own. I thought it might be an activity your kids might enjoy too.

I bet you can also find Magic School Bus videos and books to go right along with the body systems too. :). Great work. I used to go to the library all the time for books like those too. Saves a lot of money and no need to store them all. You can always check them out again as well. Oh good, you mentioned Magic a school bus at the end. :)

Love this. Makes me want to go redo anatomy with my kids. But, adding this to my list for when I do this unit with my youngest. Thanks for sharing!!

Wow, I recommended the Professor Noggin games, I love that you took my recommendation, they are great games. I love the unit and all the resources. The chalk wall is amazing.

Hey Angie! We live so close. I've been homeschooling for 6 years and I love watching other homeschoolers. I've recently started vlogging more which I'm excited and nervous about...😬 I originally found you a year or two ago by your homeschool videos and I'm so happy you started this channel. Great chalk wall!

I'm highly impressed with your Homeschool videos and this unit! We plan to start homeschooling next year and I will be watching for your new videos. I can't wait to see what else you share!

I’m finding these videos so helpful! I am in the process of planning our school year, to start in a few weeks, and I’m loving that you’re going through what you do in detail. Thank you!

I used to watch a cartoon, a series of episodes of an italian show named "Siamo fatti così" (=we are made like that). It was amazing and very helpful un understanding processes in human body. This could be interesting if you can find the english version!

I love this video and all your suggestions. I hope you will do another science unit study example this upcoming school year!!!

We love the Toob toys! I got the human body toob over the summer to go with our human body unit study and my son LOVES them!

My nieces love Operation Ouch. It is an educational children’s show in the UK but may be viewable on KZread. It makes it accessible in a non-patronising way!

I enjoy watching your videos; I believe you will cover more about the human body with what you have there than what is taught in public schools. Great Job

Good job dad on the art work!

Some extra resource ideas for you! SciShow Kids here on KZread has lots of great science videos for the kids, and Teachers Paying Teachers which is a website where teachers post low cost or free resources and you don't have to be a teacher to register. For the DNA unit, you could probably teach the kids some easy Punnett squares. My favorite example to use for DNA and teaching dominate genes is eye color.

This is our first science unit of the year too, love everything you've added to it. I'm going to have to step up my game. 😀

Wow! I'm waiting for my good and the beautiful order... the human body is what we are starting with any I'm definitely going to have to pick up some of these resources. What a great list

Loved this! Another great book is the Dr suess inside your outside machine book! It would be really good for your younger ones!! My kids LOVE it and it’s full of great info about how the body works but it all rhymes :)

I love your idea about organizing your thoughts on that printout for the unit. Totally going to do that!

So excited to have found your channel!! I heard about your channel from my Usborne leader and couldn’t wait to see how you use Usborne books in your homeschool! I’m a homeschool KZread mama with 5 kids!! I so look forward to checking out more of your videos!!!

This is SO helpful! Thank you for sharing! I'm a newbie homeschooler of 3 and this is really inspiring.

Such a great variety of books. And the games look so much fun. Definitely a subject i want to do for us this year. Your chalk wall is perfect.

Great vid! As you move through units would love a vid like this on each of them. As well as a reflection vid at the end of the unit to see what worked and what you would change. ☺

PLEASE LIKE SO SHE SEES IT! THANKS! suggestion: At the end of all classes you could go to a first aid course for kids?:) I don’t know if you have one in your country/area but I think it is never too early to take a first aid class :) for your younger ones they will explain it easier, but your two older ones maybe can do a normal first aid course. They’ll learn a lot for their daily life. I took my first one with 13 years And just had my fourth one with 21 lots of love from Germany :)

My twins are only two, but I’m loving these videos!

I love the chalk board!

Thank you so much for sharing, it's perfect for the other homeschoolers! 💖

So glad you made this video. I’m excited to do a human body unit in January since that’s when health and fitness is kinda on our minds anyways. Totally planning on using the Usborne books too. Love these videos!

Funny timing, I start this unit with my eldest today. 😊 Very helpful resources, thank you so much!

Thanks for posting! We're going to be doing this unit after Arthropods. Great ideas :)

I am loving that you are sharing homeschool content again! I am curious how long do you spend on each unit? Does the child's age effect how long you keep a unit open? I have my eldest ready for primer K and was thinking this may be a good unit for her but am unsure of how to structure it for her age bracket. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing!

Loving this!

Have you checked out Snips & Snails? She compiles excellent units like these. She has quite a bit of hands-on projects as well. Thanks for sharing!!

If I lived in America, I would 100% homeschool but it’s just too taboo here in the uk I wouldn’t feel comfortable but it’s such a shame because this is exactly what I want for my kids.

I do so admire you! Thanks for sharing!

Wow 👍🏻 CR is a great Artist and your handwriting is really nice 👍🏻 have a great day 👍🏻☘️🦄🌺💕😘

How many unit studies do you plan to do this school year? Looks like you compiled some wonderful resources! 😁

Love the chalk wall!! I wish I had one!

I'm curious, with units when you have younger children will you revisit this topic with more age appropriate school work or do you just cover it once? Wonder how many times you repeat with the younger kids.

I was watching another video and got my answer. Thought I would share with those of you who are curious. I liked this answer and think this is how I will try it. My daughter is in kindergarten and very eager to learn. I plan on using the science units with The Good And The Beautiful science units starting now with safety and next year repeat these units and touch on different, age appropriate topics in that subject. An example is my daughter doesn't need to learn about internet safety at this age, but well repeat that later on with other age appropriate topics u til I feel the subject had been covered totally. Hope that makes sense.

Hey Angie, first off I have been loving this channel! My toddler is only three but I love all the resource options you have been providing as I’ve been picking through to help teach him the basics. However, I apologize if this may be too personal, but I was wondering how you afford all these fantastic tools and beautiful books. Is there funding from the state because they’re not in public school or is this just something that you figure it and make it work?

Seeing all these books and resources makes me so excited! :) We're Usborne lovers, too (oops - I say "uz" like you!).

Did you have to purchase most or all of these item for this year? Seems like some of your units would get rather expensive. Are you able to use these items as a tax deduction at all or get some type of home schooling money threw grants? Sorry, I hope you don't mind me asking. I am just curious. I couldn't get my daughter into preschool this fall because of my business hours (I do daycare and not enough room in our van to drive all the kids with me to drop her off) so I am doing some home schooling things with her. I do a lot of preschool type things with my daycare but my daughter's will be a bit more one on one (during nap). I purchased her curriculum also from The Good and The Beautiful. It has a really nice layout I think. I am excited to give it a try with her.
