Upper School Anatomy Students Teach [School Name] Second Graders

Dr. Amy Stanfill’s Anatomy and Physiology Honors students recently taught Mrs. Einstein’s second-grade class at [School Name] about the human body. The initiative provided hands-on learning for both age groups.

As part of their coursework, the Upper School students created 3D models and presentations of body parts and organs, including the bladder, kidneys, and stomach. They used these visual aids to explain each component’s function and its importance to overall health. The project aimed to make complex biological concepts accessible to elementary-aged children.

Second graders actively engaged with the material, listening to presentations, asking questions, and examining the 3D models. For the Anatomy and Physiology Honors students, the experience provided a practical application of their studies, challenging them to simplify complex information. The teaching opportunity reinforced their understanding of human anatomy and physiology.

The event offered a cross-divisional learning experience that brought science to life and placed Upper School students in teaching roles. The initiative highlights innovative science education approaches and fosters collaboration between grade levels, reinforcing curriculum content through peer-to-peer instruction.
