Materials needed: books-links in lesson plans, as well as posters.

I anticipated this! I found an anatomy coloring book with answer key. My kids like it so much they have asked to do this for school. I am going to let them. :) We did the first page already. I will try to narrow this down to match the units we've done and based on the kids interest and list which pages we've done. I am thinking this will be science the next two weeks at least. They are very motivated to learn the names.
