About This Lesson
Students are introduced to multiple body systems and learn about the fundamental concepts of each system. This is a two-week lesson in which students explore the body as a system, skeletal and muscular systems, joints, and the heart in the first week. Students explore the respiratory system, the circulation system, the eye as a system, and the brain and nervous system during the second week. Students watch educational videos provided by BrainPOP, read articles, answer reading comprehension questions based on readings, work in groups to complete activities and projects, complete practice worksheets, and reflect during journaling exercises on a daily basis. After discussing each body system topic, students are provided with one full day of review after our two-week lesson. Students are encouraged to read over our lesson slides as a way to study for the unit exam.
