Starting to look through my RTR manual. I was wondering what other large families have done with the Body Book models. Did you do a model for every child? Or did you make it a group project? We would probably have 4 children wanting to participate in this.

We've got four kids. Each kid made a model (my youngest was five at the time and she did okay, but not great). I think we did just one spine, but I don't remember why.

We did just one model. They can be fairly detailed and my 3rd grade twins needed some help. On some of the smaller models they each did one.

One video series we borrowed from the library we still remember well. It has been a couple of years. We will be doing RTR in the fall and since anatomy is part of that study, I might check them out again.

We liked most of these. They are partly animated (if I remember correctly, have some funny parts ) and most revolve around a doctor named Dr. Pancreas. In some of the videos, someone travels inside the body to show us the 'inside'.

I had to get them through Inter Library Loan and since they are older videos, DVD was not available. (VHS only)

Come See How We Fight Infections - shows how our body fights infections, some parts we found humorous.

Come See What the Doctor Sees
It is a partly animated film about a girl's routine doctors visit.

Also in this series:
Come See About Nutrition and Exercise
Come See What First Aid Can Do

HTH,
