Transcript Human Body Systems

Human Body Unit
Science Benchmarks

Describe the structures of the human body
and how they work together to sustain life

Use models and/or simulations to
represent and investigate features of
objects, events, and processes in the real
world.
Systems of the Human Body
Nervous System
 Circulatory System
 Digestive System
 Respiratory System
 Muscular System
 Skeletal System

Key Vocabulary
Structure
 System
 Sustain
 Organ

You will need to:

Identify major parts of each system

Describe the job that each system does for the
body

Describe how the systems work together to keep
the human body alive
Group Project

Your group will conduct research on one human body
system (books, internet, resource materials)
-Major parts or organs of the system
-Describe the major job or function or your system

Create a Powerpoint presentation about your assigned
system

Create a 3-Dimensional model of your system

Present your system to your classmates

Compare
human body
systems in
terms of
structures and
relationships
that exist within
them
Describe the
structures of the
human body
and how they
work together
to sustain life
Identify the
structures of
the human
body an how
these
structures work
together to
sustain life
Name the
structures of
the human
body and state
that they work
together to
sustain life
Use Model
and/or
Simulation
Consistently use
models and/or
simulations to
effectively
represent and
investigate
features of
objects, events,
and processes in
the real world
Use models
and/or simulations
to represent and
investigate
features of
objects, events,
and processes in
the real world
With
assistance, use
models and/or
simulations to
represent
features of
objects, events,
and processes in
the real world
Recognize
examples of
models or
simulations that
can be used to
represent
features of
objects, events,
and processes in
the real world
