ALL ABOUT ME:
The focus of this lesson plan for K-2 students is largely on the human senses. Several activities will help
students to learn how our senses help us to interpret our world.
HUMAN BODY PRINTOUT:
Print out copies of the human body to let students label basic anatomy. Great for kindergarten through
