Vocabulary:
Introduce the 6 vocabulary words with the real-life photo posters included. You could post these posters around the classroom and have students travel around to match up and define the words in their flip flaps or use as a center activity. These posters are excellent for a bulletin board display too.

Have students read the informational articles about the human body, cells, and the Respiratory system. Then complete the organizers and comprehension questions. Have students read the character study where they will meet Elizabeth Blackwell who was the first female doctor. Students will also meet Anton Van Leeuwenhoek who invented the microscope.

Have students complete the Flipbook and build it page by page. I usually have them do one page at each center or learning station. They can use the articles as a reference source to help them complete the pages of the booklet. Lastly, they cut, color, and assemble the booklet. Flipbooks can be glued or stapled inside their interactive notebooks, file folder, or a 12×18 piece of construction paper folded like a book cover.
