We are continuing learning about the human body. After reading through the online module we again had to seek outside resources to make it accessible. When you can't visualize something, dry reading will not make an impact. We revisited the whole cell, tissue, organ, organ system with legos and mega blocks. That visual has helped a lot.
Today we added a game from the Lakeshore Learning store. I had purchased this cd on clearance. We played one game against each other. He loved it! It introduced the material in a way that I hope he will retain.
So today's lesson was about the Nervous system. The 2 videos we added to enhance the lesson were

When it came time to take the online test for his school he did great right up to where he needed to explain the difference between involuntary and voluntary muscle movements. I think it was just too much for one lesson.
I will be looking for some other way to introduce these new concepts and vocab words.
