Human Anatomy Projects that made homeschooling fun



Edible DNA, made from twizzlers, colorful marshmallows and toothpicks. this is a fun project that can also be a snack time treat in teaching about DNA . The kiddos enjoyed building DNA MODELS and at the end they had a tasty treat 



Fat Test: This experiment got a lot of reaction from the kiddos. we got a stack of brown lunch sacks and a collection of snack foods. We drew a circle using a saucer on each bag. We started by placing a measured portion of food on the circle of the brown paper bag. The kiddos then made predictions about what they think will happen when the food is left on the bag overnight. The next morning we figured out how much fat was in each snack food based on the grease stain left on the paper bag. 



Watch Your Pluse: insert a toothpick into a marshmallow and watch your heartbeat 



Make a cell model: Great idea for tactile and visual leaners. Very easy to do with things already found in your home.
