Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
L.O. To understand why animals are different to humans (understanding) SC1: I can research different animals body parts SC2: I can compare and contrast them to humans SC3: I can explain why they are different/similar to humans
Use the body part that you have become an expert in. Task 1 – research between 3-5 different animals and collect photos of the same body part.
My example:
![]()
![]()
Next: compare and contrast the nose of the animals to a human’s nose. See the example below: When you are finding differences – try to research why that is and include this on your journal page. Challenge: can you explain and justify which animal has the best one on your page?
Something easier? Make a list of interesting facts about 1 animal’s body part e.g. A dolphin does not have a nose. A dolphin cannot smell. A dolphin has one nostril but it is their blowhole at the top of their head. A dolphin makes up for their poor sense of smell with their strong taste. |
