Let's start on the right hand side at the top. This is a mini book on
different kinds of Cells and how they work. We show little photos
inside of a nerve cell, red blood cells, Skin cells and muscle cells
along with an explanation about what that cells job is.

Below that is a mini book about Anton Van Leeuwenhoek . Mr.
leeuwenhoek figured out how to magnify objects by looking through
a rain drop at an insect. He created a microscope that magnifies 3X
smaller than most had at that time. The microscope photo on front
came from clip art at the microsoft website. This mini
book opens like an accordian. You can read the pages they
are in pencil and my photos are to blurry. (sorry)
You can however see how it opens.

Below that is a diaogram of a cell. This was done by my 2nd grader so
It's fairly simple. We labeled the Cell membrane, cytoplasm and Nucleus.
I also pulled out the old mircrosope and we inspected some of the
different slides that came with it and our own saliva. Interesting...

Down the Left hand side...

You will see a diagram of the digestive system. We colored this
along with the body we created on big paper of my child and
he cut out the shapes of the system and pasted them on. We also
read the book What Happens to a Hamburger by Paul Showers.
The coloring page comes from Dover publishing company.
We also did an experiment that is in the book and mashed up
a bananna to see what food looks like after being in the stomach.
(Note my son wanted to keep this.lol)

In the center....

We talked about the food pyramid and what our favorite food is
from each food group. Which food group we should have more of
(grains) and which we should have less of (fats) Thats the little triangle
book it opens up like this...


This worksheet came along with our K-12  program. It was supposed
to be 3-D but we wanted it in our lapbooks. Below that you will find
a food journal we found on the net. For one week we tracked the
foods we ate to see which foods we should eat more or less of.

At the very top are some game cards that go along with a game board
that is on the back of the lapbook.


You only move one space for each correct answer. We used colored dice for
our game pieces. In the past we have used mini erasers. The questions
pertain to the digestive system . There are a few freebies like you
ate some fruit today move 2 spaces. There is also a move back card
for eating to much candy.

Oh and the front cover I dont have a photo of but I took pictures
during the lesson and that is the cover plus the title.
