Health 2nd Grade Unit 2: Growth and Development teaching resource preview
Digestion & nutritionBrain, nerves & senses

Health 2nd Grade Unit 2: Growth and Development

A labeled organ diagram supports a worksheet where students label the major organs of the human body, followed by a hands-on cut-and-assemble activity that builds a complete body from six grouped body-system pieces in order: skeletal and nervous, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, muscular, and skin and hair, with eyes, hair, and clothes added by drawing. A naming worksheet then has students identify the body-system groups shown on their own. The unit turns to emotional awareness with a worksheet where students color pictures of people and describe each one's emotional and physical characteristics, then draw and write about their own feelings after scoring a soccer goal. A follow-up worksheet has students draw a happy and an angry memory and consider why appearances alone don't always reveal how someone feels. An eight-point assessment closes the unit, covering major organs, body systems, and reading emotional cues, with a complete answer key provided. This is Unit 2 of a seven-unit 2nd grade health and wellness series.
