    Does Simply Charlotte Mason have a recommended resource or resources for teaching 3rd grader about the human body? Interested in learning body systems including, but not limited to musculoskeletal, nervous, respiratory, vascular, gastrointestinal, urinary, reproductive.

    Thanks for your help on this.

    I don’t know that SCM has anything specifically, but my 7yo daughter loves the book Dr. Frankenstein’s Human Body book.

    You might also look at the Apologia Exploring Creation series book about human anatomy, though I’ve heard that it’s a bit more advanced than the other elementary studies in that series.

    Thank you for your reply .  I do have every textbook in the Apologia elementary science series-not interested in using the human body or any other title at this time.

    I have had some success searching this forum since my post and have found that 106 Days of Creation has a human anatomy portion. I need to pull kine out n look it over.

    I’m suspectacular my personal library is resource rich, I just don’t wanna miss any stellar recommendations from scm.

    Thanks again!

    I was looking for coloring books to supplement learning and have found several great choices by dover. Also have found cut and paste body building project books, I think by Donald Silver.

    Most recent find is the magic school bus human anatomy lab (new in 2016?) It looks SUPER fun! Way more expensive than coloring books though.

    Rainbow resource has some human anatomy models that seem reasonably priced and full of 3D sensory fun. Especially interested in a torso model-to begin.

    Lots of work yet to do…

    I just looked at Dr Frankenstein’s Human Body Book on amazon because my library doesn’t have a copy-it looks awesome! Thanks for the personal endorsement!

    You’re welcome! My daughter loves this book, though she isn’t ready to read it for what it’s supposed to be – a journal-style account of building a human. I like that it’s not gory or creepy (at least, imho) in the way that a Dr. Frankenstein story could be. I think the illustrations are stellar and it has board-book style pages, which is helpful when your anatomist wants to spend a lot of time looking at it. My daughter often traces the illustrations to give to us as little surprises. Because, you know, a tracing of the digestive system is a great way to perk up anyone’s day. Bwa ha!

    Another one I loved using with my older two girls (they’re now 22 and 18) was a Scholastic book about the human body – Make and Learn Human Body. It had great activities in it for kids who like lots of coloring, cut and paste stuff. My oldest daughter actually wore the “brain hat” from this book around the house quite a bit, and she even wore it when she did a science fair presentation using the models from the book. I am planning to use it again when I do 106 Days with my youngest.

    I just looked it up on Amazon and it looks like the new edition is called The Body Book, but to me the illustration style in the older book is more appealing, even though it’s only available used at a higher cost.
