This page will have ongoing references for our study of some of the systems of the human body and ultimately cells.
This is the video we watched in class. It is from the National Geographic and is an overview of some of the systems of the human body.
See if you can correctly place the following: The heart, stomach, liver, small intestine, large intestine, kidneys, lungs. Try any of the other organs and see how you do!
Skeleton - we did not do anything with the skeleton, but here is a game to play. Read the instructions and try to put Mr. Bones back together.
This is the kooky video that we watched in class. You drag a food over to the mouth and watch how it travels down the digestive tract. See what gets broken down and absorbed by the body at each step. How your body digests different foods
More digestion - here are some further links to videos, interactive games, self-quizzes etc. about digestion
Today we looked at the make-up of the blood and talked about some of the functions or jobs of the blood in our body.
All of this is summed up in a great song by "They Might Be Giants" called The Bloodmobile. Watch it again and see
if you remember all of the functions it mentions. Some of these we will return to in more detail as we continue learning
about the systems that make up our bodies.
Cartoon video about the blood and how the heart works.
