Our Grade 2 Science homeschool curriculum starts with learning the sense organs. The last part of this series is about The Skin which is also responsible for our sense of touch.
Our topics about The Skin will be the following:
- Parts of The Skin and their functions
- Caring for The Skin
Sense Organ – The Skin Educational Videos
Sense Organ – The Skin Activities
- Skin Temperature Experiment. A simple experiment about how our skin controls or regulates our body temperature.
- Which Finger? This is can be an annoying game but doing it the first time is fun. Let your child face backward and looking away from you. Use one of your fingers to touch your child lightly on the head. Now, ask your child to face you and make a guess which finger was used to touch. Take turns on who will touch and who will make the guess.
