Our favourite 3: Human Body
This selection of books invites you to celebrate the human body and its abilities by exploring the senses, physical strength and nourishment.
Human body
What makes me a me?
Have you ever pondered what makes you a you? How would you go about finding out? Would you compare yourself to other people, animals, things?
Hair love
Hair is part of many people’s appearance and different styles have cultural significance. Is hair interesting from a STEM perspective too?
The clue is in the poo
Take your nature detectives on an adventure to find out about animals’ lives from the clues they leave behind in their natural habitats.
Eating a rainbow
This Eat a rainbow program set out to change children’s perception about food. The program encourages children to explore fresh and healthy foods in all the colours of the rainbow.
Creative territory marking: The wombat
Wombats are certainly interesting. From cubic poo, teeth like humans and upside down pouches. What do you know about wombats?
Hairy nose, itchy butt
This sad story with a funny twist about the hairy-nosed wombat’s journey creates awareness of the plight of Australia’s threatened species.
Into the wild
The joys of a child fascinated by all his beautiful finds in nature is the perfect starting point for going exploring with the children.
Critically thinking about capsicums
In this age of free-flowing information and fake news, there lies an opportunity to cultivate critical thinking skills. Skills that are far more important for today’s education and children’s futures than just knowing the facts.
