Verónica Duque, 43, has been a teacher for 15 years. She teaches natural and social science, art, as well as English and Spanish.

She told Bored Panda she is always looking for ways to make learning more interesting and effective.

"I was surfing the internet when an ad of an AliExpress swimsuit popped up. Knowing how hard it is for kids this young to visualize the disposition of internal organs, I thought it was worth it giving it a try," Duque said.

Duque's husband Michael tweeted some photos of his wife from the lesson on Twitter where they have been well received.

"Very proud of this volcano of ideas that I am lucky to have as a woman," he wrote (translated). "Today she explained the human body to her students in a very original way. And the kids freaked out."

Verónica says she has plenty of unique ideas to keep her students interested.

"I decided long ago to use disguises for history lessons," she said. "I'm also using cardboard crowns for my students to learn grammatical categories such as nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Different grammar kingdoms, so to say."

The Twitter post has nearly 70,000 likes and more than 14,000 comments.
