1. Create a glossary - Using the content specific vocabulary related to the mouth (e.g. teeth, jaws, tongue, saliva, molars, etc.), have students create a glossary of words on their own and then check it as a class using a mini white board. 2. Make a mini-model - Have each student make a mini-model of the mouth using simple craft supplies like clay, construction paper, and pipe cleaners. As students create their models, have them label the important parts and explain their functions. 3. Practice pronunciation - Have students practice common words related to digestion including teeth, tongue, saliva, molars, and more. Have students practice saying the words and practicing their pronunciation. 4. Tongue twinning - Draw a tongue on card stock or construction paper and have students trace their tongues and color their own copies. Have them note any differences or similarities. 5. Create a Digestive Story - Have students create a story about the mouth and explain the different functions and processes it does as it relates to digestion. Allow them to express themselves creatively and encourage them to draw illustrations to go with the stories.
1. Begin by looking at the item and determine which of the royal order of adjectives applies to it. The royal order of adjectives includes opinion (describes how someone feels about it), size (describes how big or small it is), age (describes how old it is), shape (describes its form or outline), color (describes the hue), origin (describes where it is from), material (describes what it's made of), and purpose (describes what it is used for). 2. Once you have identified the royal order of adjectives that applies to the item, consider each one and determine how it can be used to answer questions about the item. For example, if size is one of the adjectives, you can use it to answer questions about the item's size. 3. When answering questions about the item, make sure to use the appropriate adjectives in the correct order. The order should follow the royal order of adjectives, which is opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material and purpose. 4. If necessary, provide additional context or information when answering questions about the item. For example, if the question is “What is the color of the item?”, you could answer by saying “The item is blue with green stripes” or “The item is a dark green color.” 5. After answering the questions, review your answers to make sure they are accurate, comprehensive and complete. Follow these steps to help students answer questions about an item following the royal order of adjectives.
First, make sure the student understands what the royal order of adjectives is and how to use them. Explain that the royal order of adjectives is a set of six rules that govern the hierarchy of adjectives in a sentence (i.e. size, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose). Show examples of each of the rules in action. Once the student understands the basics of the royal order of adjectives, encourage them to organize the adjectives for their sentence in the proper order. Remind them that the adjectives should be arranged from most to least specific, with the order starting from size, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose. For example, if the item is a tall silver vase from Spain, the adjectives should be arranged as follows: tall, silver, Spanish, vase. If the student is still having difficulty, try providing additional examples of sentences using the royal order of adjectives to help them understand how it works. Additionally, you can encourage them to use graphic organizers or diagrams to help them organize the information in their sentence. Finally, guide the student towards writing their final sentence. Once they have all the adjectives arranged in the correct order, have them read the sentence out loud and make any adjustments they need. With continued practice, they will be able to answer questions about items using the royal order of adjectives.
1. Create a digestive system mural - Have students create a large mural depicting the various organs of the digestive system and how they work together to break down food. 2. Anatomy modeling - Provide students with clay, pipe cleaners and other materials to create models of each organ within the digestive system. 3.

Lesson 1: Introduction to the Skeletal System Objective: To introduce students to the skeletal system, its function and common problems of bones. Materials: Large diagram of the human skeleton, whiteboard Introduction: Welcome to our lesson on the skeletal system! Today, we are going to learn about the amazing system which gives people their shape, holds them together, and allows them to move. This system is made up of 206 bones and is aptly named the skeletal system! Activity 1: Describing the skeletal system Show the diagram of the human skeleton to the students and ask them to name each part out loud. Discuss the following questions together: -What is the skeletal system? -What are some of its roles in the body? -Where does it provide strength and support? -How does it help us move? Answer: The skeletal system is the framework of our body that supports us physically and gives us our shape. It consists of bones, joints, and other connective tissues. Its role is to provide structure, strength and support for the body, protect organs, and enable movement. The bones provide the levers and pivot points that allow the muscles to move the body. It also provides protection for delicate organs and stores minerals, like calcium, which are important for good health. Activity 2: Common Problems of Bones Discuss with the students some of the common problems of bones. -What are some common bone problems? -What is osteoporosis? -What is arthritis? -What is a fracture? Answer: Some of the common problems related to bones are osteoporosis, arthritis, and fractures. Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak and brittle, leading to an increased risk of fractures. Arthritis is a condition caused by inflammation of the joints, which significantly affects mobility. A fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone, which can occur due to a traumatic injury or from a medical condition such as osteoporosis. Conclusion: The skeletal system is one of the most important systems of our body as it provides structure, strength, and support for the body, protect organs, and enable movement. Unfortunately, there are many bone problems which can reduce the person’s mobility and put them at risk of fractures. It is important to be aware of our bone health and take the necessary measures to maintain strong, healthy bones.
