In this course students will learn all about different kinds of doctors. This class is a fun way for students to get introduced to the different body systems and learn interesting ways the human body works. Each week, students will learn about a different type of doctor and the human body system. Students will complete a simple experiment to further understand the human body system we are learning. I will send the supply list out before class. We will then use our new knowledge about the human body to play games and complete experiments! Students will love using their questioning and problem solving skills to learn about the human body. Students will have a fun worksheet to complete during class. The classes do not build on each other and learners can join at any time!
