RIVER CITY SCIENCE ACADEMY in partnership with the MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND HISTORY bring the 2nd grade study of the human body with an interdisciplinary unit grounded in science and supported by real artifacts!
The 6 day unit was busy and full-filling as students experienced a visit to their classroom by MOSH's "No Bones" traveling exhibit; 2 days at the museum where they completed a scavenger hunt using their observation and discovery skills and created a "Flippy Floppy" complete with bones, organs, arteries, and clothes representing a variety of cultures.
