Hello, scientists.

My name is Mrs. Waller.

I'm really excited to be working with you all today.

We are going to be learning about body parts on the inside.

And this lesson is from the unit, "Human Body Parts." Let's get started.

So our learning outcome for this lesson today is I can name different parts on the inside of the human body and I can talk about what jobs they do.

So you might have already started thinking about body parts that you know on the outside of our bodies.

But today, we're going to be thinking, are there any different body parts on the inside too? You start thinking about that, and let's get moving on to the main part of today's lesson.

First of all, we need to think about our key words that we will be using today.

So, shall we do I say, you say? Yes? And then you get a chance to repeat the words after me.

So the first word is I say "human body," you say, fantastic.

And we're moving on now I say, "draw," you say, well done.

Ready for the next one? Our next word in today's lesson is I say "label," you say, brilliant.

Our next word is I say "name," you say, fantastic.

And our final word, it's a little bit tricky, this one, I say "identify," you say, that's amazing, well done.

You might want to take a minute to have a think about what do these words mean.

If you want, you can pause the video and talk to somebody else.

Do you know what all of these words mean? Or are they some that you might need to wait and see what these words are throughout the lesson today? Don't worry about that because all of the key words will be covered throughout today's lesson.

Our lesson today is in two parts.

In the first part, we'll be starting to think about body parts on the inside.

And after, that we'll be moving on to thinking about how we might be able to record different body parts.

So our second part of the lesson today, is all about recording different body parts.

Is everyone ready? Let's get started.

"Aisha and Sam are talking about different human body parts.

Aisha has drawn around Sam's body." Have you ever done that before with a friend where they lay down on a big piece of paper, maybe a big piece of rolled out wallpaper, and they lay down nice and flat, and then you carefully draw all the way around their body? Well, that's what Aisha's done and she's drawn around Sam.

And then Aisha's decided to add a label.

Now, do we know what a label is? A label is one of our keywords today, and it means to add a piece of information.

So the label that Aisha has added to her drawing is the label "body." And she's put that label on because she's saying that a human body is one big part.

Now, do you agree with that? You might want to pause the video and have a think.

Is the human body one big part? Hmm, not sure about that.

So pause the video and have a think.

Now, let's see what Sam thinks about this.

So Sam is going to add some labels.

Do you remember, labels are pieces of information? So Sam is adding some labels to give information about the human body.

Now, Sam doesn't think that the body is just one big part.

Sam knows a couple of different parts of the body, so Sam is adding the label "head" and also Sam has added the label "arm." Hmm, what do you think about that? So Sam is saying, "I know that this is a head and that this is an arm.

So I think a human's body is made up of lots of different parts." Is that what you said? So, I have another question for you.

Can you name any different body parts? So Sam's named the head and the arm.

Pause the video.

And again, talk to a partner.

Talk to a friend.

How many different parts would you be able to add to the human body drawing? Okay, I hope you've had enough time to have a good think about that.

What other different body parts could you name today? I wonder if you could name this body part.

What label would this have? Yes, the hand.

And what about these things here that I'm wiggling? We've got fingers, and maybe you were able to label the thumb.

Hmm, any other body parts? Were you able to label any body parts lower down? Maybe the legs? Maybe the feet? Anything else? Let's move on to a quick check for understanding.

These children are talking about different parts of the body.

Who do you agree with? So Jun is saying, " I think the human body is one big part." And Alex is saying, "I think the human body is made up of lots of different parts." And Sofia has a different idea and she's saying, "I think the human body is made up of two parts called a body and a head." Who do you agree with? And the answer is yes, Alex is correct.

The human body is made up of lots of different parts, and we've just been naming as many of those parts as we could.

Well done.

Moving on, now.

So we've still got the drawing that Aisha did around Sam's body.

Now, this time Andeep has got some ideas.

And Andeep is saying "There are no body parts on the inside of a human.

Our body is everything that is on the outside." Pause the video.

What do you think about that? Hmm, it's a tricky one, isn't it? Because all the body parts that we've named so far we can see on the outside of our bodies.

But are there any parts on the inside that we can't actually see? How do we know that they're there? There are some human body parts on the inside of our bodies too.

And we know that they're there because we could maybe have an X-ray or a scan at the hospital.

Maybe you've fallen over and injured a body part before, and you may have needed an X-ray to look at your bones, or a scan to look at other body parts working on the inside.

And if we didn't have X-rays or scans, we wouldn't be able to see these body parts.

So sometimes we don't actually know that they're there.

It's pretty amazing, isn't it? Now, I've got a tricky question for you coming up.

Can you name any body parts that are working on the inside of our bodies? So pause the video here and take a good minute or two to have a think about it and share your ideas with a friend.

Have you got lots of ideas? Okay, we're going to start at the top of the body, and we're going to start at the head.

Now, we know that the head is a body part that we can see on the outside, but what's the body part inside of the head? It's a body part on the inside.

So have a look at the diagram.

And we've got a line drawn ready to add our label.

Do you remember, our label is a piece of information? What body part is that line pointing to? What would our label be? Did you get it? Yes.

The inside body part, inside of our heads, is called our brain.

And, do you know what job the brain does? I'm going to give you a clue.

You might need to think really hard about this question.

Did that help? Yes.

Different body parts do different jobs, and a brain lets humans think.

Now, you might have known that one, but also our brain controls all the other parts of our body.

Yes, it controls how our body moves.

Pretty amazing stuff.

Shall we move on to a different body part on the inside? Okay, take a look at the diagram.

We've got inside a human body.

So can you identify, oh, that's one of our key words today, isn't it? Do we know what that word means? So to identify something is to name it correctly, so we want to add the correct label.

So look at where the line is pointing.

It looks like it's a red, it's not a circle.

Maybe it's a bit more of like an oval shape.

So, do you know what this body part is? Can you identify it? And also, do you know what its job is? Did you get it? Yes.

This body part is on the inside of our body.

Actually, it's inside of our chest.

And it's called a heart And a heart pumps blood all the way around a human's body.

Now, lots people think that a heart is a heart shape, but it's not actually a heart shape, a love heart shape.

It's actually the shape of, if you scrunch up your fist really tightly, that's about the size of your heart.

So put that towards your chest.

That's it.

That would be about the size of your heart in your body.

And it's not a love heart shape.

It's more of that shape there that you can see on that diagram.

But it's working hard every second of every day, pumping blood around our body.

It's amazing, isn't it? All these different parts on the inside all doing incredible jobs.

Let's go for a quick check for understanding.

All of a human's body parts are on the outside of their body.

What do you think? Is that true or false? And that one is false.

Did you get that one? Now, let's try to explain why.

Is it because a human's heart and brain are inside their bodies? Or, is it because different body parts do different jobs? What do you think? And we're going for "A." Now, actually, both statements are true, but we need to finish off our sentence, don't we? So all of the human's body parts are on the outside of their bodies.

And that's false because we know that a human heart in the chest and a human brain in the head are on the inside of their bodies.

Well done, everyone.

Ready to move on? Now, we've got a tricky body part here.

Can you identify this body part? And we've got two lines going towards our diagram here, so they must have the same name, but there's two different parts to this body part.

So, can you identify what this part is, and do you know what its job is? Do you know? So these body parts are called lungs.

And we have one lung on this side of our chest, and another lung on the other side of our chest.

So these are lungs.

And do you know what the job of the lungs are? (instructor takes a deep breath in) Take a big, deep breath.

That's true.

Our lungs are for breathing and for bringing air into our bodies.

It goes down a long tube, called a windpipe.

And the air goes into our lungs when we breathe.

So the lungs are for breathing and for bringing air into a human's body.

Okay, we've got another body part here.

Lots of thinking to be done in the lesson today.

Can you identify? So that's our key word, to be able to name something correctly.

Can you identify this body part? Now look really carefully.

Where's the line pointing to? Now, this body part looks like it's lower than the chest.

Maybe it's somewhere around, can you all pat your tummy? Yeah, maybe it's somewhere around that part of our outside body part, but it's on the inside.

Do you know what it's called, and do you know what its job is? Okay, take a look at our label.

This body part on the inside is called a stomach.

Now, that's a tricky one, isn't it? Do you want to say it after me? Stomach.

Stomach.

And it's got a tricky spelling.

It's got a "ch" sound at the end, but we don't say stomach do we? We say stomach.

It's a tricky one.

But it's a body part on the inside.

And do we know what happens? We eat our food and we drink our drink.

And it goes down a different pipe.

Not a wind pipe, it goes down a food pipe.

And it goes all the way down into our stomach.

So our stomach is where the food goes once a human has eaten it.

Wow, aren't we learning so much in this lesson today about our incredible human bodies? So my last question on this slide is, do you know any other body parts on the inside? We've just learned about quite a few here today, haven't we? But there are lots more.

Don't forget, when you get an X-ray, there's all the different bones as well inside of our bodies.

Can you name any of those, maybe? Let's go to a check for understanding.

Which of these body parts is a heart? So look carefully to where the lines are pointing.

Is it A, B, or C? And the correct answer is, yes.

Did you get that one, "B"? We can see our heart.

Do you remember, that's the size of your fist? And your heart is in your chest.

Well done, everyone.

We've got another check here, true or false? Different body parts do different jobs.

Do you think that's true or false? Different body parts do different jobs, and that is true.

Well done.

We've been learning about the different parts of the body and the different jobs that they do.

So let's try to explain our answer.

Is it because humans are mammals, or is it because the brain lets a human think and controls how their body moves? Which answer do you think? That's right.

It's "B." Different body parts do different jobs because we know that the brain has different jobs.

It lets a human think and it also controls their body.

Fantastic work.

Moving on to our first practise task.

And I would love it if you could have all of these different labels and different diagrams cut out onto different pieces of paper.

If not, don't worry.

You can do this matching activity looking at the different labels, the descriptions, and the different diagrams on the screen.

But I wonder if you can match each organ.

Now, have we used that word "organ" before? I don't think we have.

We've been learning about organs inside of the body.

So the brain and the heart and the lungs and the stomach are known as organs.

So, can we name each of those inside body parts? We've got the labels and we've got their descriptions for the job that they do.

And we've also got some pictures showing you where they are in the body.

So pause the video now, have a go at the matching activity, and see if you can match up the label, the description, and the diagram.

Over to you.

So I've been able to match the organs to its name, to its job, and here's what I've managed to match.

I've got the label "stomach," and I've got my diagram with my arrow pointing to the stomach.

And the description is "This is where food goes once a human has eaten it." Did you get that one matched up correctly? Well done.

Now, my next one is my label "brain." And I know that the brain is inside of my head, so there's my diagram.

And the brain lets a human think and it also controls how their body moves.

Did you get that one as well? Good matching.

Moving on, we have our label of the "heart," and we have our arrow pointing to the heart inside of our chest.

And we know that this organ pumps blood around a human's body.

Fantastic.

And then finally, we have our label "lungs." And we know that we've got two arrows pointing towards two lungs and the lungs are used for breathing.

And (instructor takes a deep breath in) take a deep breath, everyone, bringing air into a human's body.

Wow, you've worked ever so hard in the first part of today's lesson.

Are we ready to move on to the second part? Fantastic.

Let's go.

So here we are at the second part of the lesson, and we're going to be learning now about recording different body parts.

So we've been learning about lots of body parts on the inside and the jobs that they do, but how could we record this information? Let's move on.

So these children have got, again, lots of different ideas.

They know that a human has lots of different parts on the inside of their body.

So Izzy says, "Hmm, what can we do to help us to remember where the different parts of a human's body are?" Laura says, "Well, we could draw them, or we could make a model." That's a good idea, isn't it? Maybe they could use the drawing that Aisha did around Sam's body and maybe they could add some drawings onto that drawing? Or, we could get some clay out and we could make some models.

What a great idea, Laura.

What does Alex think? Oh, well Alex is saying, "Do you have any other ideas?" Pause the video and have a chat.

I wonder what ideas you came up with.

Maybe you could write about the different parts on the inside of the body.

Or I wonder if anybody knows a doctor, or somebody that works at a hospital, and maybe we could gather some X-ray images, and that would be a good way to record the different parts on the inside of the body.

The children decides to make each body part from dough, and put it in the correct place on their drawing.

Oh, I think that's a really, really good idea.

So they've got a ball of dough.

And at the moment they've rolled it up into a sphere.

And they've got to think about shaping the dough into the right types of shapes for the different body parts.

And then they've got to think about placing it in the correct place on their drawing.

So that's quite a difficult activity to do, isn't it? The children have done ever such a good job of it.

They've got an orange heart, and a pink or red brain, and they've got a purple stomach, and they've got blue lungs.

Do you think these body parts are really these colours in real life on the inside of our bodies? No, I think they've just made these different body parts using different coloured balls of dough.

But, can you see how they've tried to shape them into similar shapes? I think they've done a really good job, do you? Spend a couple of minutes telling a partner where do you think each of these different model parts would go on the human body? Let's have a look at the children's ideas.

Where they're the same as yours? So Laura is saying, "I know a human's brain is inside their head." So she's placed the dough brain right at the top of the drawing, at the top of the head.

And she's added a label to show the information that this is the brain.

Okay, good job, Laura.

And the children have added the other do parts to the drawing.

And Alex is saying, "A human's heart and their lungs are inside their chest." So we can see that they've placed the dough where the chest would be on the human body, and they've added the label "lungs" and they've added the label "heart." And let's have a look at that final body part.

What's Alex saying? Alex is saying the stomach is below the chest.

Great.

So that's where he's placed the stomach and he's also added the label to show the stomach.

Fantastic.

Are they the same types of places that you would've placed the dough models? Moving on to a check for understanding.

How can we record where different parts are inside a human body? Can we photograph them? Can we draw, or make them? Or, can we count them? Which one do you think? And the answer is, "B," draw or make them.

So we could photograph them with a very special X-ray camera.

But not just with any ordinary camera, or maybe a phone or a tablet.

If we took a photograph, we would just get the outside of our bodies.

So that wouldn't work, would it? And it'd be very difficult to count them.

But if we could count them, that's not really a way of recording where the different parts are.

Moving onto our practise task now.

So we'd love it for you to have a go at the children's activity.

So you could draw or you could make the body parts out of dough.

If you're drawing them, you would need to cut out your drawings.

Or if you are modelling them out of dough, then you'll have four separate mini models.

And what we'd like you to do is draw around a human body.

You might want to do it giant scale on a large piece of paper.

Or you might just want to do it on a piece of a fold paper in a smaller version, okay? And what we want you to do is once you've drawn on major models, would you be able to place those body parts in the correct place in the human body? And then talk to a partner.

And tell them what job does each body part do.

So we've got our four body parts on the inside that we've been learning about today, the brain, the lungs, the heart and the stomach.

And if you've been able to do that, I've got an extra challenge for you.

And I'm wondering, can you add any other body parts on the inside of the human body? So if you know of any other body parts on the inside, you might want to draw these, or you might want to make some extra models and put those on your drawing too.

Pause the video.

Good luck, scientists.

Welcome back.

Let's take a look at this task.

So you are asked to draw or make each body part, and put it in the correct place in the human body.

Let's start with that first.

So we've got our brain at the top of the body in our head.

And we've got our lungs and our heart in the chest.

And then we've got our stomach, a little bit lower down than the chest, around where our tummy is.

Did you manage to do that? Fantastic.

And did you know any other body parts? I wonder if you came up with any other ideas.

I was thinking about the spine.

Have you heard of the spine? You might have heard of the backbone, yeah? It's made up of lots of little bones, all joined together, that go from pretty much the back of your neck all the way down your back.

And it's known as your backbone, or your spine.

And that's a part of the body that's on the inside.

Did you come up with that one? Or, did you have other ideas? Fantastic work.

Now, let's think about what job these different body parts on the inside do.

So Sam is saying, "The stomach is where food goes once it's been eaten.

And the heart pumps our blood around a human's body." Did you get those two? And then finally Alex is saying, "Humans use lungs (instructor breaths in) to breathe and bring air into their bodies.

And also a human's brain lets them think." And also don't forget this one, it controls how their body moves.

Did you get any other ideas? Fantastic work, scientists.

Absolutely brilliant today.

So we're moving on to our final summary of all the wonderful things that we've learned about the human body today.

Can you remember all the different things that we've been learning? The human body is made up of lots of different parts, which do different jobs.

And we know now that there are body parts on the inside of your body as well as on the outside.

What else have we been learning today? Body parts on the inside can include the heart, the lungs, the stomach and the brain.

Yes, often scientists would call those types of body parts on the inside organs.

And we also know that body parts can be recorded.

We can use drawing and labelling skills.

And don't forget, today you've also used modelling skills.

So, fantastic work.

I've really enjoyed learning about body parts on the inside with you today.

Have you? And I'm looking forward to learning with you again.
