In this interactive lesson, your 1st-grade child will embark on a fascinating journey to learn about two important parts of the human body: the stomach and the skin. They will explore the functions and significance of these body parts, as well as how to take care of them to stay healthy.


Learning Objectives:
By the end of this lesson, your child should be able to:

  • Identify and describe the functions of the stomach and the skin.
  • Understand how the stomach processes food and the importance of a healthy diet.
  • Learn about the skin’s role in protection, sensation, and temperature regulation.
  • Recognize the importance of caring for the stomach and skin to maintain good health.

Skin Protection Craft:

Provide your child with paper, markers, and crayons. Instruct them to draw a picture of themselves and their skin. Encourage them to illustrate ways they can protect their skin, such as wearing sunscreen and avoiding touching harmful objects.


Digestive System Model:

Create a simple digestive system model using household items. Use a clear plastic bag to represent the stomach and fill it with crackers and water. As you gently knead the bag, explain how the stomach breaks down food.
