My Healthy Body
Grade 2
90 Minute Program
Course Description
Projected animation and three-dimensional models help teach
students how their sense organs work and why it is important
to protect and take care of them. Activities allow students
to test their ability to smell, hear, and touch, experience
sign language, and feel Braille. Children gain an
appreciation for similarities and differences as they
discover the wonder and function of the human body. The
importance of nutrition and dental care is also reviewed.
