Parts of the Human Body — Interactive Lesson (Year 1)

Head, shoulders, knees and toes — can your class name every part? This 12-slide interactive lesson on body parts builds understanding one small step at a time, with 7 self-marking activities and nothing to prepare beforehand.

Teaching Parts of the Human Body in KS1 Science
