Description

This unit focuses on identifying, naming, and labelling the basic parts of the human body, linking each part to its associated sense. It emphasises closely observing using simple equipment, classifying findings, gathering and recording data, and using observations to suggest answers to questions.

This unit introduces Year 1 pupils to the big question, What are living things and what are they made of?, by focusing on Human body parts. Pupils will learn to identify and name the basic parts of the human body and link them to their senses. This prepares them for the next unit, Introduction to the human skeleton and muscles, where they will explore how bones and muscles support movement, helping them build a deeper understanding of how their bodies work.
