Detailed Description

The primary objective of the project is to provide a means to educate small children about the human anatomy in a fun and engaging way. Understanding human anatomy and physiology consists of major part of learning biology. Unlike subjects such as maths and physics, biology needs a larger part to be understood and memorised. The subject gets complicated further as the student goes to higher classes. Unless the students have a strong grasp of basics, they tend to lose interest in the subject. Anatomy is linked with many other fields of study such as nutrition, keep good health, hygiene, physical education, sports etc. Understanding anatomy leads to clarity in other areas. Since most of the available materials are basically instructional, the project aims to facilitate the foundational learning of basic anatomical concepts in an alternative way where the child “learns through playing”. The final product had a kit which contained the different systems of human body in a simplified form in layers. This kit can not only be for demonstration school but also as an examination tool. The design was scalable in sense that more layers of other systems could be added if wanted. The product is affordable, simple and child-friendly.
