The Human Body



Kidshealth: site to research all body systems

StudyJam , BrainPOP: to review all body systems


---------------------------------------------------------------
The Muscular and Skeletal Systems Challenge:

Explain how your biceps moves the forearm up.
with a model (a drawing with precise labels)

and a sentence or two to describe the action in order
(what happens first, second, third)


You must include all these words as labels:
tendons, ligaments, muscles, biceps, bones, joints
(verbs: pull, attached to
)


1. Watch Mystery Science Lesson: Muscles

(The activity is optional since I can't give you the supplies.
Take some notes to explain how a muscle moves a bone.)
       
2. Watch this video and take some notes
to explain how a muscle moves a bone.


How Your Muscles Works (video)



3. Read and answer questions about the skeleton
on ReadWorks: Bone On The Go (assignment)

4. Draw to explain and submit a picture on Google Classroom

The Circulatory and Respiratory Systems
Challenge

Explain how both systems work together to feed all cells in our body
with a model (a drawing with precise labels)



Word bank: lungs, blood, air (carbon dioxide/oxygen), heart, chambers, veins, arteries, capillaries, cells, breathe in, deliver, breathe out


1. Researching (taking notes, of course!)

Heart (Animation) 


2. Thursday: Read along: "The Lungs"
Very little notes to take. Focus on oxygen and carbon dioxide.


3. Friday: Read along "The Heart"

You do NOT need to explain how the heart pumps blood with all details.
Just tell the main paths of the blood.


4. Week-end:
Drawing and explaining:
the heart will be the center piece of the drawing.
(Watch now the correction. Submit in Google Classroom)

The Digestive System Challenge


Explain the role of each part of the system
with a model (a drawing with precise labels) and a perfect paragraph

Word bank:
mouth/saliva, oesophagus, stomach, liver and gall bladder,
pancreas,
small intestine, large intestine.
