Okay, we're doing a project from the Journal, a mobile. This is a project in Apologia's Young Explorers Human Anatomy program. The kids cuts out the terms, matched the pictures, sorted systems, glued them to card stock and created mobiles. We started last week and spent most of the class finishing. This was a good exercise; the kids used their textbooks to identify and match the images. We sorted the related terms, too. H-on is the way to go! I am confident they'll have a much better idea of the parts of a neuron now. Here is Nathan's mobile nearly completed and Nora's mobile finished!
A mobile like this is a nice change from notes, vocabulary sentences, and crosswords. The kids can write terms, draw evocative images on the back and create mobiles, too. It's just a change in pace from lapbooks. The mobiles took about two hours to finish because the kids had to cut everything out, match, glue, punch holes, and assemble. They're processing as they go. Believe me, it's worth the investment in time.
