Beginning a Lesson on Cells and Healing

Hook: "A Journey Inside the Body"

Introduction

Imagine if you could shrink down to the size of a cell and take a journey through your own body. What would you see? What would you experience? Today, we're going to embark on an incredible adventure to explore the microscopic world of cells and uncover the amazing ways they work to heal our bodies when we get hurt.

Activating Prior Knowledge

Before we dive in, let’s think about a time when you got hurt. Maybe you scraped your knee, caught a cold, or even broke a bone. Raise your hand if you remember how your body felt during those times. What did you notice as you healed? Did you see any changes? Did you have to take any actions (like putting on a bandage or taking medicine)?

Interactive Visuals

To grab everyone’s attention, let’s watch a short animation that shows how our bodies heal. This animation will take us through the steps of healing at a cellular level, highlighting the role of different types of cells, like white blood cells and stem cells. As you watch, think about the questions:
