Well, right now, the BBC are running a number of investigations for schools to take part in. They’ve had investigations on trees, forces and time, but their next one, which is running between August and October, is all about exercise and the human body.
You can find out more info from the BBC about this investigation here, but for now, we wanted to tell you about all the content we’ve pulled together to support your lessons on the human body and which can be used alongside this part of the investigation.
We’ve found Learn Screens, Activities, Topic Tools and more, for EYFS, and Key Stage 1 and 2, to support you. All the learning and teaching resources can be found on EducationCity really easily too – all you need to do is use Search to find them!
Let’s take a look at the content you could use to support your lessons on the human body…
