Creature Anatomy Unit Study

Learn more about our *NEW* Human Anatomy Unit Study Kit HERE!

Get ready to dive into the fascinating world of anatomy… human AND animal! In this playful, hands-on Unit Study, your children will explore how living creatures are built, how their bodies work, and what makes each one uniquely suited to its life.

From skeletons and muscles to hearts, lungs, and brains, we’ll compare human anatomy with all kinds of animals… creepy crawly insects, graceful birds, slithery reptiles, and more.

Through interactive games, outdoor observations, creative crafts, and simple experiments, kids will not only learn how bodies work… they’ll experience it. Think: animal tag, anatomy models, and even a dissection or two (kid friendly ones, we promise!)

Perfect for curious learners and wiggly ones alike, Creature Anatomy turns science into an adventure full of discovery, movement, and imagination!

Accompanying Resources

Get ready to solve problems, think critically, and discover how numbers can save the day… one creature at a time!

The Someday Suitcase by Corey Ann Haydu is a heartfelt and poignant middle-grade novel that explores themes of friendship, loss, and the hope for the future. The story follows two best friends, Clover and Finn, who share a deep bond and a passion for science. But when Finn is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, their world is turned upside down. Clover struggles with the idea of losing her best friend, while Finn remains determined to live life fully, even in the face of uncertainty. As they navigate this difficult journey together, they learn about the power of memories, the importance of being present, and the bittersweet reality of holding on while letting go. A beautifully written and emotionally resonant story, The Someday Suitcase reminds readers that even in the hardest times, hope can be found in the people we love and the moments we share.
