About this course
Body Lab K to 2 is a free 12-week online science course about the human body for Kindergarten to Grade 2. Kids explore the five senses, bones, muscles, the heart and blood, lungs, food and healthy habits with Rocket, Raven and Nova. Lessons are read aloud, every answer is a tap, and a daily Word Spot practices sight words. Saturday is Body Lab Day with the family.
