Beginner Level
We will take a fun and exciting adventurous voyage inside our bodies. Nano-Rocket Pilots Bob and Sue will steer the ship through blood vessels, the heart, the bones, the gut, the lungs and the brain and more. There will be slides, video clips and questions for the kids. I will tell stories of the Nano-Rocket Alpha and the adventures of the pilots on their dangerous and exciting journeys... Highly interactive, fun and the students will still learn something valuable and interesting as well as experience (through the Pilot's eyes) consequences of unhealthy behaviors. The Adventures of the Nano-Rocket Alpha and its Pilots Bob and Sue Day 1: Who are Bob and Sue and how did they get into the body? Their Journey from mouth to the stomach. Bathing in the dark salt sea of acids Day 2: Voyage to the liver and gallbladder, and the pancreas gland. Marveling at the chemistry factory... Day 3: Voyage through the heart . Why they have to go through the heart twice... Day 4: Voyage through the lungs. Re-plenishing and refreshing with oxygen. Day 5: Voyage to the Brain, meeting the 3 wise brain men: learning, memory, knowledge and more... Day 6: Voyage to Eyes, Ears and Nose. How they work... Day 7: Voyage to the bones and spine. Joints, what is inside a bone? Why does it hurt to break a bone? Day 8: Voyage to the skin, our largest organ. Why do we sweat? Day 9: Voyage through the kidneys, water and salts, getting rid of garbage.... Day 10: Voyage through the gut and out of the body back to “earth”. - Gut Microbiome, the sad story of the apple seed, how our waste gets out... The students can interact, ask, add to the stories... I need a minimum of 3 students to hold the class. otherwise I need to cancel. Thanks for understanding.
Learning Goals
Students will learn in a fun and interesting way about basic anatomy, physiology and how interesting and complex their body is. This is meant to spark interest in a future deeper exploration of science, biology and medicine and to better understand the fascinating workings of our body and mind. Students will gain an understanding of the workings of their body as well as gain insight in consequences of unhealthy or dangerous behavior through the eyes of the Nano-Rocket Pilots.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
The quizzes in class are played on Kahoot to increase engagement and learner fun. If new to you or your learner, please review with your learner the info-sheet in the classroom area after enrolling so they can participate right away.
We will discuss health, biology and medical topics, so there will be mentioning of body parts, illnesses and sexual organ parts, in an age-appropriate, but direct, descriptive and honest way.
This is education, not counseling. If your child has a medical, mental or neurodevelopmental illness, this class can inform them about anatomy, physiology and some pathology and may motivate them to accept and adopt healthy behaviors, but it does not provide individual counseling or therapy. Please always use and follow the advice of your child's healthcare provider!

As a retired physician and mom, step-mom, aunt and grandma I have told many stories.... I understand the subject matter very well and want to bring the idea of telling the journey of a Nano-Rocket and its pilot kids to explain the subject matter and have fun while learning.Reviews
