Do you love Science? Do you want to know more about yourself and how your body works? Maybe you’re planning on being a doctor, veterinarian, physical therapist, or more.  Then let's have fun creating while learning with play-doh, clay, paints, or whatever else you like working with!  In this ongoing class, learners will be introduced to different parts of the body while building the parts with Play-Doh. Students will learn interesting facts about their body and how to stay healthy!  Learners will need at least four cans of play-dough.  Students may use more colors for a more detailed model (5-7 cans of Play-Dough or clay).  I will be using a second spotlighted camera to show step-by-step directions as we make and learn about the body together.  Anatomy templates will be provided before each class.  Students may print it out to use as a reference or mat to work on. I will talk and ask questions about the body while creating the parts.  Students can share their finished masterpieces in class or by posting pictures in the classroom.  No previous knowledge needed!  Join anytime you want! 

Each class will include a range of teaching methods and activities that are designed to engage the learners in both a hands-on and minds-on way. Classes will include hands-on activities, Q&A, worksheets, videos and much more.  Learners will be encouraged to observe, explore, question and share what they learn. A variety of methods are used to support learners and cater for different learning styles and needs.
