Welcome to our self-paced, academic science course on Our Brilliant Bodies - an action-packed adventure into the wonders of the human body! Uncover the secrets of the skeleton, organs, blood, digestion, and teeth. Discover how to stay strong and healthy in this thrilling science course! Over 7 lessons, this course will take you on a amazing tour through the body. Look at x-rays to diagnose broken bones, see what happens when teeth go bad and learn how medicine can be used safely. We will even create a digestive system and make some poop, all whilst covering educational science objectives. Each lesson will cover many of the Science objectives of the UK, USA and Australian curriculums, so this course is ideal for homeschoolers. We will also explore topics beyond the curriculum so it is perfect for learners who would like to explore the topic in greater depth. Every lesson has a Worksheet that can be completed whilst watching the lesson video, allowing the learner to work in a structured and supported way. There is also a further activity that the learner can complete after the lesson if they would like to work on the topic in further depth - there will be a guidance video to help the learner with this. Learners are also given a Factfile on each topic which builds up into a mini encyclopaedia of knowledge.
