Educational activities
!! The educational activities are currently available in French only !!!
The educational activities offered to children in primary grades 3 to 6 are part of an approach to raise young people’s awareness of science, supported and funded by Innoviris. They are based on the school curriculum and aim to stimulate children’s interest in medical sciences. The events are completely free of charge.
For type-8 classes, the activity supervisor recommends the ‘En chair et en os’ activity, which she adapts to the level and specific needs of the children.
En chair et en os
This activity introduces children to human anatomy through games and discussions with the activity supervisor. In the first part, children learn to identify organs, their place in the body and their main function. In the second part, they learn about the skeleton. At the end of the activity, the teacher receives a pedegogical file.
