HUMAN BODY
We have completed the human body part of our curriculum. The first section involved the respiratory and excretory systems. We also touched the heart and blood circulation. These were followed by lessons on communicable/non-communicable diseases, how to stay healthy, good nutrition, and the human eye. "Mythbusters" provided good advice on how to cover sneezes and coughs.
BARN OWLS!
Students' got their hands dirty! This special out-of-the-book study of the Barn Owl, along with an introduction to Birds of Prey and ornithology, lasted about three weeks during the third quarter. The lab portion provided every student the opportunity to investigate the contents of their own owl pellet. Identified animal bones were mounted and displayed for Catholic Schools Week.
