Lesson Content

The Human Body

The human body is amazing! It has many parts that work together. We will focus on three significant parts: the legs, hands, and nails.

What is the Leg?

The leg is a strong body part that helps us move. It has bones, muscles, and tendons that let us perform various activities.
The following are examples of activities that the leg helps us perform:

Walk
Run
Jump
Kick
Stand

What is the Hand?

The hand is versatile. It has five fingers for writing, holding things, and more. Our hands are sensitive to textures and temperatures.
Examples of what the hand helps us do include:

Writing
Holding things

What are Nails?

Nails are hard coverings on fingers and toes. They protect the ends of our fingers and toes from injury. They can be different shapes and sizes.
The importance of nails include:

Protection of fingers and toes
