Question bank: Human Body Parts: Introduction

When we play 'Statue', we stand still as if we were a real statue, without moving a muscle. But if you stop to think, even without moving, our body is divided into some parts that we can't hide, like the head, the middle part of the body we call the trunk, and the parts we use to walk, move, and hug, which are the limbs. Now, thinking about this and what we have learned about our body, write why each of these parts, the head, the trunk, and the limbs, are important to us.

Imagine you are a superhero and had to use your special body to help many people in danger. Describe which parts of your body you would use to fly high and fast in the sky, like a bird. Explain how each of these parts work together to make you fly. Remember to think about the head, trunk, and limbs you would use.

When we play with Lego, knowing the parts of our body is like putting together the pieces of a toy. We have the head, the trunk, and the limbs, which are the arms and legs. Imagine you are a helper of the Lego doctor and you need to explain to him how the different parts of the human body are and why each one is important. Think about the things you can do with the head, like thinking and smelling scents, or with the limbs, like hugging and jumping. Now, describe in your own words what you understand about the head, trunk, and limbs, and why they are important to us. Also, explain a different activity that we can do with each of these body parts.

João is a curious boy who likes to learn about the different parts of the human body. He is playing 'statue' with his friends and needs to stay completely still, keeping the three main parts of the body well aligned. For this, he must remember that the head is at the top, the trunk is the main body, and the limbs are used to move and play. Which of the following descriptions should João use to remember the parts of the human body while playing 'statue'?

Ahoy, little scientists! Have you ever tried walking or playing upside down? It's very difficult, isn't it? This happens because our body is divided into parts and each one has an important job. The head is where our eyes, mouth, and brain are, which helps us think and understand the world around us. The trunk is like a tube that holds our internal organs, like the heart and stomach, which help us stay alive. And the limbs, which are the arms and legs, allow us to move and hug the people we love. Now, imagine that you are doctors and need to explain why it is so difficult to walk upside down using what you know about the parts of our body. Why are the head, trunk, and limbs important to keep us standing and help us walk? Write a short story explaining this and draw how you would look walking upside down.
