• Ask them how the color yellow makes them feel. Explain that yellow is a warm color and encourages creativity. Talk about how lemons, bananas, sunflowers are yellow in color.
• Tell them to sort all the yellow objects and arrange them in a line or group them in different sizes.
• Purple is made by combining red and blue. There can be dark and light shades of purple and many things around us are purple like flowers, grapes, grape juice etc.
• Burgundy is a color that is a variation of purple, it is similar to maroon and a purplish red color.
• An oval is similar to a circle because it is made up of curved lines and has no corners or sides, but it is different because it is not round like a circle.
• Show or demonstrate some objects like eggs, baseball, mirror etc in oval shape and tell that many people have faces in oval shapes.
• A cube is a 3 dimensional shape (3D), it is square shaped, but because it is 3D, it will be like a box, ice cube etc.
• A cube has six corners, and the distance between all corners will be equal.

Encourage the children to touch the cotton ball, explain them how soft and delicate it is. In this manner our human brain is very delicate and it has to be protected, so it is placed in the skull. Ask the children to touch and feel the hard texture of the skull. Brain is made of nerve cells called neurons. Using flash card, show the children picture of heart. Now talk in detail about heart. Heart is a vital organ in our body. It pumps blood to all other organs in our body. It is red in color; the size of heart is equal to the size of our fist. Our body is divided in to head, thorax and abdomen. Heart and lungs are in the thorax region. We cannot see our heart since it is inside and protected safely in the rib cage. Ask the children to jump for a minute and then check the heart beat using stethoscope. When we run, jog, jump, dance etc our heart beats fast. The rhythm of the heart beat is lub dub lub dub. The doctors use a stethoscope to check the heart beat. We can feel the pulse at the pulse point located near the wrist.

(INTERNAL) DAY:2 Topic: Discuss about lungs, liver, intestines and importance of stomach. Vocabulary: Lungs, liver, intestine, stomach Material required: Picture book or model of lungs, liver, intestine and stomach.

Liver has many functions, including turning digested food into blood proteins. Bile juices from liver and digestive juices from pancreas containing proteins called enzymes which helps in breaking down of our food into separate nutrients. Intestine is of two types: small intestine and large intestine. Broken down food mixed with enzymes in stomach is passed in to the tube called small intestine which has many finger like projections, those finger like projections absorb nutrients and sent it to blood. Foods which are undigested are sent to large intestine, where waste is turned solid and it is sent out of our body through rectum and anus. Discuss that when we eat food the teeth breaks up the food into very small parts so it becomes easy to swallow. That is the reason why we need to chew the food nicely so the stomach can easily digest the food. Then it goes to our food pipe or esophagus and in to our stomach. Here it breaks down in smaller parts and the juices are absorbed by small and large intestines. In this way the body obtains nutrition and energy. We need nutrition to build our bones, skin and muscle. Discuss about practicing good nutritional food habits. Show the pictures and point out to the windpipe and lungs. When we breathe in air, it goes down to the windpipe and into the lungs. We have two lungs, one on the right and one on the left side. These vital organs like heart and lungs are placed in ribcage since it is delicate. Show the X-ray and point where heart and lungs are situated.

Infants have around 300 bones as they grow some of the bones fuses with other bones and an adult skeleton is made up of 206 bones. It supports our body. They protect our vital organs. Our bones help us to stand upright, sit. Muscles are like cushion which covers the skeletal system. They allow us to move and give us strength. More than six hundred muscles are there in our body. In order to help us to move, our muscles contract and relax over and again. We have muscles throughout our body. Talk about skin, sense of touch. Skin is the outer covering of our body. We feel through our skin. Ask the children to compare different textures and discuss sharp, soft, hard, sticky etc. The sense of touch is called tactile, and this sense helps us to feel in a variety of ways. We can enjoy the smooth feel of satin, prickly grass, or even rough sand. Our tactile sense also helps us to be careful, if the water in the bathtub is too hot or warm for us. We have to do lot of physical exercises to keep ourselves fit.

How do you know when something is too hot? Can you smell heat?

What happens if we don't have any pain? (We will hurt us badly).

Encourage children to look at their veins on wrist. Blood is the red fluid which carries oxygen, nutrients, chemicals to heart and it flows to all parts of our body cells that are required to survive. It also washes away all the waste products, including carbon-dioxide. Our blood has three main things mixed; they are red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells are button-shaped red color cell which has protein rich in Iron called Hemoglobin that gives the blood red color. White blood cells plays an important role in body's defense against diseases. White blood cells swallow germs. Platelets help in clotting and healing if there is a cut or hurt. Blood flows through the veins, arteries which are the blood vessels. Large blood vessels are called Arteries. Arteries carry pure blood and veins carry impure blood. Each human being has average of 5 ½ liters of blood in the body.
