We
are getting ready to wrap up our human body systems unit in room 204. Man, what
a fun unit it has been! I love being able to do hands on experiments and crafts
with my students. The body systems unit allowed me to bust out some fun
experiments, engaging video clips, and more. Below, I have compiled a list of
the resources and activities we used throughout this unit
.
The Skeletal System
We
started our unit with the skeletal system. We learned about the bones, their
placement in the body, and their functions. We cut and created XL paper
skeletons like those linked HERE.
We
also learned more about the skeletal system from THIS video:
The Nervous System
I
loved teaching the nervous system! My kiddos loved learning about the brain and
its different sections. They especially loved creating these awesome brain
hats!
We
learned more by watching this awesome Bill Nye video as well.
The Digestive System
This
was by far the grossest, and in turn my student favorite body system to study.
We did a great and easy experiment that demonstrates the way our food is broken
down.
We
also created this FREE digestive system foldable.
Finally
we watched the Magic School Bus video on the digestive system. This was great
and really allowed my students to have an inside view of how food travels
through the digestive system.
The Respiratory System
This
was another body system which prompted fun experiments! Check out the
experiment we did HERE.
You
can also grab the free worksheet we used HERE.
We
have not reached the final two systems yet. When we do, here are some of the
videos and resources we will use.
The Cardiovascular System
The Muscular System
