The Mysteries of Life with Tim and Moby: Personal Hygiene. Produced by BrainPOP on August 23rd, 2017. It is five minutes and twenty-eight seconds long, and although it doesn’t have an assigned rating, it fits the standards for a “G” rating.
-Description: This video is a short, age appropriate movie. It gives students a general overview of hygiene through the stories of a group of robots. Each robot deals with a different personal hygiene issue (bathing, teeth brushing, infections, deodorant) and then Tim and Moby help them figure out how to solve these issues in a healthy and appropriate way. It gives a great general overview of personal hygiene, using language that is geared toward K-2 students.
-Review: This film follows a man and a robot named Tim and Moby, as they discuss personal hygiene. It starts with a group of robots suffering various hygiene issues and uses Tim and Moby to briefly explain how to solve them. After that, it takes a detailed look at bathing, teeth brushing, wound treatment, how germs spread, washing clothes, and why they are all important habits. It gives great illustrations and reasoning for why hygiene is important to a healthy life.
Press Play and watch until 1:47
Core Integration: I would integrate this with my reading curriculum. After students had watched this video, I would have students choose a book to read about one of these hygiene topics and give a brief description of the additional information they learned to the class. This would be an informal presentation, where students would only have to share a fact or two they learned with their peers.
