Learning about human body in Greece

Pupils were taught by their teacher about human anatomy. They learned about some basic human organs and their function. The model the teacher used, helped them to see their actual size and position in the human body. As a form of game, they had to put the organs in the right place and see how they are connected and how they interact to make the human body function. They named them in English and used prepositions of place to show their position:
e.g The heart is between the lungs. The liver is under the right lung etc.
The next part of the activity was to talk about health problems that are connected with these organs. We talked about the specialists who are relevant to these health problems:
e.g heart trouble : cardiologist
pain in the arms or legs : orthopedic
rash : dermatologist
eyesight problems : ophthalmologist
earache : stomachologist
children diseases : pediatrician

Pupils found that medical terms are easy for Greek students to understand, as most words in medicine come from the Greek language. So another vocabulary activity was to try to recognize English medical words and relate them to the equivalent greek words:
Allergy, amnesia, anemia, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, diarrhea, haemorrhage, meningitis, peritonitis, pneumonia, poliomyelitis etc
Also : anatomy, artery, anaesthetic, antidote, antiseptic, diagnosis, therapy, stethoscope, thermometer, myopia etc.

We also collected some information from parents, grandparents about traditional cures , using plants and herbs from nature. So here are some suggestions:
-When you have a sore throat you should drink hot tea with a teaspoon of honey or with lemon juice.
-If you have a cold and can`t breathe, boil water with eucalyptus leaves. Stand over the pot and breathe deeply. You will feel much better.
-It`s a good idea to drink chamomile tea if you have stomachache.
-For the high temperature, put a compress of water and vinegar on your forehead.
-Mint and lavender leaves are good for headaches. Boil them, strain and add honey and lemon juice.
-If you have a toothache you should chew lavender leaves.
When your back hurts, a good massage with alcohol and keeping warm will make you feel much better.
