Things to Know
Hamburger Fold-Fold short-ways
Hotdog Fold- Fold long-ways
Folds- Labeled with a small line to show where the fold is and the words hamburger fold or hotdog fold. Dotted Lines-These are the cutting lines Cover Labels- Most of the booklets that are folded look nicer with a label on top instead of just a blank space. They will be labeled covered page or cover label.
So where do the mini-booklets go?

A color coded and labeled KEY is included. This key shows you where all of the mini-booklets go in each folder. Keep this page handy! Youll also see at the top of the mini-booklet pages another graphic that shows once again where to place the booklet in each folder. So there are TWO ways to see where to place the booklet. We made it easy!! You wont get lost.
How do I use the study guide and mini-booklets?

Read the study guide page to your child or if your child is reading, let him/her read it to you. After each study guide page, you will find the mini-booklet pattern that goes with that study guide page (Occasionally, a study guide page might have more than one mini-booklet).Cut out, construct and glue the mini-booklet into the lapbook (The directions for cut out, assembly and placement will be found on the same page as the mini-book pattern). Then fill in the answers. Most of the answers for the mini-booklets can be found within the study guide. Further research on the study guide topic can be done if desired.
How Long Does it Take to Complete the Lapbook? Doing a study guide page and mini-booklet a day, a 3-folder lapbook takes about one month to complete. However, you can expand the study portion and make it last as long as you like! Thats the beauty of homeschooling! Do it YOUR way!
Study Choices Choice #1- Read the first page of the study guide. Then use the internet and fun childrens books to learn more about the topic that is covered in that study guide. For instance-our American Indians lapbook has a study guide page about Geronimo. Dig into Geronimo. There are probably lots of interesting things to learn about him that the study guide does not cover. Spend a day on Geronimo or spend a week! The pace you take for the lapbook is completely up to you. When your child has completed studying that particular topic, it will be time to do the mini-booklet for that topic. The mini-booklet patterns are found right after the study guide page that it goes with. Or, your child might want to do the minibooklet before he/she delves deeper into the subject. Once again, the order is completely up to you and your child. Choice #2- Read only the study guide page and do the mini-booklet that goes with it. The mini-booklet patterns are found right after the study guide page that it goes with. You may choose to do one study guide/mini-booklet per day, two per day, two per week, three per week, etc. It doesnt matter. The pace is completely up to you. At one per day, it will take about a month to complete a 3 folder lapbook.
Lapbook Assembly Choices Choice #1 -Do not glue your folders together until you have completely finished all three folders. It is easier to work with one folder instead of two or three glued together. You can keep the waiting folders in your binder that we will be mentioning later. Choice #2 -Glue all of your folders together before beginning. Some children like to see the entire project as it is being done. Plus, it helps with keeping up with which folder you are supposed to be working in. The choices are completely up to you and your child!
Tips and tricks to go the extra mile! (optional)

Supplies Need: inch three-ring binder 5 tabs (if you are using our copywork and/or notebooking pages, you will need to have 7 tabs. Label with copywork and notebooking) Quart size baggies Duct tape Your study guide and mini-booklets pages and copies of the enrichment pages at the end Office supplies-glue, scissors, brads, stapler, pencils, crayons, and ribbon (if needed)
1. Label your tabs: Study Guide/Mini Booklets, Book Log, NICK Notes(easier) or Outline Form (harder), Biography Reports, What I Learned Pages (Copywork and Notebooking, if using these). 2. You will find a master copy of all of these special pages at the back of the lapbook packet. Make copies of the NICK Notes or Outline Form, Biography Report (if included), and What I Learned Pages and put them behind the tabs. Make more copied of the Book Log if your child reads a lot and needs more room to log books. We will explain how your child can use all of these enrichment pages later. 3. Hole punch your study guide and mini-booklets sheets and place behind the Study Guide tab. You will read a page of a study guide. Behind the study guide is the booklet(s) that goes with that study guide. 4. Keeping your office supplies handy-Measure the bottom of a quart size ziplock bag. Then measure out a strip of duct tape that length. Lay the zip-lock bag on the lower edge of the tape. Fold the other end of the tape down on the zip-lock bag. Your duct tape should be sticking out from the bag. Now, you can hole punch the duct tape strip. DO NOT HOLE PUNCH INTO THE BAG! Then put it into your 3-ring binder. Use this bag to store items you will be using for your lapbook. Glue, scissors, hole puncher, stapler and extra staples, crayons, pencils, brads, ribbon, and any unfinished work. Doing this one step keeps you from having to constantly gather supplies every time you want to work on your lapbook!
How to fold and connect the folders for your lapbook.
1. Gather the number of folders 2. Open up each folder and required for your particular flatten it out. lapbook
3. Take the right side and fold it all the way over until the tab is just before the middle crease in the folder. Do not overlap this crease with the tab.
4. Fold the left hand side over 5. Take two of the folders and apply a generous amount of glue just to the crease but not overlapping it. Your folder now to their flaps. has two flaps. We like to run a ruler down each fold to make the fold neater and flatter. Do steps 3 and 4 to the remaining folders.
6. Bring the flaps together and press so they stick together.
7. Do steps 5 and 6 to your remaining folders (if any).

8. We provide the patterns for all the minibooklets. Just cut out, construct and glue them into your lapbook. Refer to the color-coded placement page or the actual mini-booklet page for placement of each mini-booklet.

The Bible tells us in Genesis 1:27 that God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. This means that with His own hands He careful designed us. According to scientists, human beings are the most complex organisms on this planet. Our bodies are a single structure, but they are made up of billions of smaller structures. If we take the time to explore our bodies, we will come to appreciate just how important we are to God and how much love and care He put into us.

Have you ever wondered what would happen to your body if you did not have bones? Without these bones (your skeletal system), you would just flop around. You would not be able to stand, walk, or run! Your bones serve many purposes. Your skeletal system consists of . It makes up about 20 percent of the weight of your body. The main structure is your backbone. It is what allows you to stand upright. Your other bones help protect the delicate, soft parts of your insides. Your soft brain, like the rest of your body, is protected by bones. It is called the , or cranial bones. Your skull is a series of fused bones and acts like a hard, protective helmet for your brain. There are six parts to the cranial bones: one frontal, two parietal, 2 temporal, and 1 occipital. Your (inside your backbone) is surrounded by hundreds of nerves and is protected by smaller bones, linked together, called . You also have built-in protective armor called the . Your rib cage protects the heart and lungs of the thorax. The bones in our body contain more calcium than any other organ. Bones are composed of thousands of living cells. The cells rely on blood to help them grow and repair themselves. Blood serves as the lifeline by bringing the bone cells food and oxygen and taking away waste. Without these living cells, broken fingers and toes would never heal. Most bones are hollow. This hollowness makes bones strong but light. The center of many bones contain the bone marrow. Bone marrow is responsible for making new red and white blood cells. Red blood cells help ensure that oxygen is distributed to all of your body parts. White blood cells fight off diseases and kill germs. Scientists divide the human skeleton into two parts. The first is called the . It is made up of the bones that form the support and protection of your head, neck, and trunk. The axial part includes the skull, sternum, ribs, and vertebral column. The second is called the skeleton. It is made up of the bones that hold together the parts of the axial skeleton. This section includes the upper and lower extremities, shoulder girdle, and pelvic girdle.

Bones are the solid structure that forms your skeleton. Bones serve multiple purposes for your body. They help to support and protect your , they help us to move, and they help to produce blood cells. Bones come in all shapes and sizes. Even though they are light in weight, they are extremely strong. An adult has 206 bones in their body, while a child has 300. As children grow, many of their bones fuse together, forming one bone. This is the reason for the difference in the number of bones between adults and children. Each bone of your body is made up of three types of bony tissue: . The first kind of tissue is the bone you see. It is known as compact bony tissue or skin of the bone. This layer contains nerves and blood vessels, which help in the feeding of the bones. This layer is formed from calcium and other minerals. On the inside of the compact layer is the middle of the bone, called the spongy bone. It looks like a honeycomb. Of all the layers, the spongy layer is the lightest and most flexible. In the very center of your bones is a jelly-like tissue called marrow. This is where new blood cells are constantly being produced. The bones in your body are classified into five kinds: long, short, flat, irregular and sesamoid. are hard, dense bones that provide strength and mobility. These bones are found in your fingers, toes, arms and legs. They have a shaft and two ends, and contain yellow and red bone marrow. are wrist and ankle bones. They are cube-shaped and have a thin layer of compact bone that surround a spongy interior. are the bones of your skull and sternum and are usually thin and curved. are your hips and spine bones. are those bones that are embedded into tendons. The most important thing you can do for your bones is to give them calcium. This mineral is essential for maintaining strong bones. Milk, cheese, and yogurt are all great ways to get the calcium you need!

We know that our skeleton is what keeps our bodies from just being a big blob of "goo." But what makes those bones move? How do our legs bend and our fingers wiggle? For all of these actions to take place, your bone has to have a muscle pulling it. are attached to bones. When the muscles contract, the bones to which they are attached act as levers and cause that body part to move. The main function of muscle is to produce the motion of your bones. There are two types of muscles: . Cardiac muscles work without you having to think about it. Your heart and digestive system are cardiac muscles. Your eyes and gross motor skillslike those that move your arms and legsare voluntary muscles. are the flexible connections between your bones. Your body has different kinds of joints. Those found in your knees move up and down, while the ones in your neck allow you to move your head back and forth. Still others, like those in your shoulders, enable you to rotate your arm 360 degrees. Without muscles and joints, you would not be able to wave, snap, bend, or jump! About 40% of your total body weight is composed of muscles. You have over 630 muscles that move! Muscles have to work in pairs. One does the pulling, while the other does the pushing. For muscles to move, the cells that make up the muscles contract and then relax back to their original size.

Your brain in located inside your skull. We could say that God created the first computer when He built the brain. It is a powerful, complex, and intelligent thinking machine! The brain deals with thousands of smells, sights, tastes, touches, and soundsall at the same time. While sorting through these messages, the brain still has the role of telling your different body parts what to do with the information. What an amazing job! The brain is the heaviest organ in your body. This organ is made up of three principal parts: the (se-re-bell-um), the , which has two parts, the , and the , which controls the body parts that you do not think about, like breathing and your heart beating. Your brain is protected by three layers of tissue. It floats in a special fluid that keeps it from bumping around inside your skull. Once your brain gets a message, it sends the information by nerve cells all over your body. They travel along nerve fibers to the nerve cells, called grey matter, in the brain. Everything works like a large network, traveling out and back. Messages to your arms, legs, and body are carried down by the spinal cord. The c are responsible for carrying messages to and from your ears, eyes, nose, throat, tongue, and the skin on your face and scalp.

Have you ever sat up real quick under a bunk bed and hit your head? Ouch! Even though you got a nice-sized bump, the damage could have been a lot worse. Thanks to your skull, your brain is nice and safe. Besides protecting your brain, your skull has other functions as well. It helps to support the formation of your face, places your eyes the correct distance apart, and supports your ears in the correct location to help judge direction and distance of sounds. You also receive the appearance of your face from the arrangement of these bones. That is why some people have larger noses, wider set eyes, and even pointy chins. Your skull is held in place by your vertebrae column. It is made up of many flattened and irregular-shaped bones. All the bones of your skull except the mandible are stationary bones. The skull can be divided into two parts: the cranium (houses and protects the brain) and the mandible.
The eight cranium bones are Frontal Occipital Spenoidal Ethmoidal Temporal (2) Parietal (2)
The fourteen facial bones are Volmer Mandible Inferior Nasal Conchae (2) Lacrimal (2) Maxillae (2) Nasal (2) Palatine (2) Zygomatic (2)

Fun Brain Facts!
The purpose of your digestive system is to turn the food you eat into something that your body can use to perform useful tasks. It is fun to discover how your body uses that food. Lets follow a bite of your hamburger and see where it goes. First, you pick up your hamburger and bring it to your mouth. You open wide and . Now, it is the job of your it into smaller pieces. To help with the softening of the bun and meat, your . Your molars continue the process to help grind it all into a big wet ball. Chemicals in your . Once the food is small and wet, your tongue then pushes the chewed food to the back of your throat. A small trap door opens, and the food is taken in. It now begins a completely new journey! Your throat muscles squeeze the wet . All of this happens without you even thinking about it. The job is done by a muscle action called peristalsis. Then, the valve to the opens and your hamburger finds itself in your stomach! The inside of your stomach is a large, pink muscle. Here in this space, your hamburger is mixed with . Acid is released from the walls of your stomach. The acid mixes with mucus to keep the stomach lining from being eroded. Your food can .

The primary job of your heart is to pump blood to every part of your body. Blood carries the oxygen and all of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs to grow. It also helps to eliminate the things that could harm your body. The heart beats at around 72 beats per minute. In your lifetime, your heart will beat approximately 2.5 billion times. It weighs on average 250 g to 300 g in females and 300 g to 350 g in males. If you were able to hold your heart, it would be about the same size as a pear, or the size of your closed fist. Inside your body, you heart is located behind your sternum. The sternum is the bone between the two sides of your ribs. Your heart sits here in the middle of your body, on the left side of the sternum. Your heart is like two pumps joined together. It consists of four parts called chambers. The (say ven-trik-ul) and the are located at the bottom of the heart. The (say at-ree-um) and the are located at the top. The muscles of the heart squeeze and relax to pump blood around the body. Blood is pushed from the atrium into the ventricle on each side of the heart. Between them, small valves open and close with each heartbeat. It then pushes it all round the body through the arteries and tiny blood vessels called capillaries. The blood in your capillaries is a bright red color. It then sends it back to the lungs for some more oxygen. This blood is carrying carbon dioxide. When it reaches your lungs, you breathe it out. This blood is a darker red color.

The skin that God gave you is better than any wetsuit you could buy. It is like a stretchy, elastic body suit. Not only is it strong, waterproof, and soft, it can even repair itself! Your skin is the largest organ of your body. It is alive with thin sheets of stacked cells. Within the skin, you will find nerves, blood vessels, glands, sensory receptors, and hair follicles. Just like a snake, you are constantly shedding your old skin. It is said that every minute, you shed around 30,000 dead skin cells from your body. Without skin, you would lose all of your insides. Skin helps to protect all of your organs. It acts as an insulator and helps to keep germs and water out of your body. If you touch a hot plate, or prick your finger on a cactus, you can thank your skin for telling you that it hurt. Natural waxes and oils are found in your skin. They help to keep your skin soft and protected. Thousands of are also found on your skin. Sweat helps your body to stay cool with evaporation. If you stood four of your friends all side by side, chances are that each of you would be a different skin color. The color of your skin is from a pigment in the skin called . The more melanin you have in your skin, the darker your skin tone. The outside layer of your skin is called the (ep-i-der-miss). Deep inside the epidermis are the growing cells, and on the outside of this are flat, dead skin cells. (ker-a-tin) is what makes the skin tough and waterproof. The vessels, (der-miss) is a thicker, stretchy layer of skin containing blood (seb-ay-shus), and sweat glands.

Inside your chest are your two lungs. These two organs together make the largest organ in your body. Your heart and your lungs are located next to each other in your chest cavity. Because of the location of your heart, your left lung is slightly smaller than your right lung. Located right below your lungs is your diaphragm. This large muscle works with your lungs to help you inhale and exhale. Every breath you take is due to your respiratory system. However, besides giving you breath, it is also responsible for various other jobs in your body. Your respiratory system works with your circulatory system to supply oxygen to your body and to help eliminate unwanted waste. Every time you take a breath, you are exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide. The average person takes a breath every 3 to 5 seconds. You take a breath when your brain is stimulated by a nerve impulse. Once stimulated, the air is moved through a series of passages in and out of your lungs. Next, gases are exchanged between your lungs and the blood. This is called external respiration. Then the blood transports the gases to and from the tissue cells. The exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells is internal respiration. Finally, the cells carry the oxygen to their specific jobs. Every cell in your body requires oxygen. Without it, you would not be able to live. The oxygen that your body needs to survive is obtained every time you take a breath. The air you inhale travels down your and into two large tubes called the bronchi. Then travels from the bronchi into either your left or right lung. If you look closely at the , they look like trees with branches growing from them. These branches are called bronchioles. Located on the end of these bronchioles are alveoli. They are little sacs that are full of air. Altogether, your lungs have about 600 alveoli. If you look under a microscope at the you will see that they are covered with tiny blood vessels called . When you take a breath, your diaphragm flattens out, and your ribcage lifts up. The air that you breathed in goes through all of the little branches in your lungs and fills up the alveoli. Oxygen then travels through the alveoli and into the capillaries. Here the oxygen enters the red blood cells. The tiny blood vessels then carry the blood to your heart. Next, your heart pumps the cells with the oxygen to every cell in your body.

The excretory system is how your body helps maintain the liquid volume of your bodily fluids at a safe level. If your body did not filter out the extra fluid and get rid of it, you would become very sick. So how does your body get rid of the toxins? First, it releases some of the toxins into your bloodstream. Then, it where the extra fluid and chemicals that your body cannot use are released. The kidneys job is to cleanse the blood and to get rid of any extra fluid. If your kidneys did not get rid of the fluid, you would blow up like a large balloon. The kidneys are beanshaped organs about the size of a man's fist. They are located in the bottom of the stomach, just below your ribcage. Your kidneys are continuously at work. While all of this is going on, your urine is . At the end of the ureters is a small, stretchy pouch. This stretchy pouch is called your . The bladder can stretch large enough to accommodate a pint of urine. Once At just the right time, . At that point, you are able to go to the restroom and empty your bladder.

If you thought of your body as a giant computer, your nervous system would be the hard drive. Without it, your mouth would not know to smile, your feet would not understand when to run, and your fingers would not know to draw back when the stove is hot. All of these actions are sent through the nervous system. This system includes the nerves in your brain and the nerves that stretch throughout your body. Your brain is connected to the rest of your body by your spinal cord. The spinal cord is a vast network of nerves that run throughout your body. It is the control center for your entire body. If your finger touches a hot stove, information is sent from your fingers through the nerves in your spinal cord to your brain. Next, your brain reviews the information and decides what action needs to take place. Thin, thread-like nerves called run throughout your body. Bundled together, these nerves carry messages from your body part to your brain and back again. The nerves that send messages to your brain are called . They connect to the brain through the spinal cord inside your backbone. The nerves that carry messages from your brain to your muscles and glands are called . The nerves are like long fibers that transmit impulses throughout the body. These fibers are covered by a fatty substance called myelin (say my-e-lin). Myelin helps the messages go fast through the neurons. The two main parts of the nervous system are the and the (say per-if-er-al) nervous system.

Using the enrichment pages (optional-use only what you would like) Book Log- A fun pace to keep up with extra reading! Your child can do extra reading about the subjects and topics covered in the lapbook. As your child reads, write down the date, title, author and type of book it is on the Book Log. Biography Book Report (if included)- Learn more about the people you are studying! Let your child choose a person or two that pertains to the subject of the lapbook. Find an exciting biographical book about chosen person. After reading, have your child fill out the information about the person on the Biography Book Report page. NICK Notes-An easier way to organize information You child will do one of these for every study guide, or depending on the level of the child, you may select only a few for your child to do. While the study guide is being read, your child will jot down important information under Notes. Under Information and Comments, your child will write down any additional information that he/she would like to add. The under Key Words, your child will write down important words from the study guide or from the Notes section. Outline Form-A little bit harder way to organize information You child will do one of these for every study guide, or depending on the level of the child, you may select only a few for your child to do. Write down a major topic from the study guide on line I. Then use A and B to be more specific about topic and to back up and prove the chosen topic on line l. Then on lines 1 and 2 under A and B, be even more specific and back up A and B. Then start over with another topic for Line ll. In other words, use this as you would an actual outline form. This may not work for all study guides. Some study guides may not be detailed enough to use the Outline Forms. Use only as it works for your child. What I Have Learned-Pages for narration You child will do one of these for every study guide, or depending on the level of the child, you may select only a few for your child to do. After reading the study guide, your child will narrate (tell orally) what he/ she has learned. You will write it down. Or, let the child write it down. There are two versions to choose from: Younger-includes a place to draw a picture. Older-for children who are capable of more writing and narration.
