Studying the Human Body

As students return from their holiday break they will begin learning about the Human Body.  Students will be choosing a human body system to research, study, and eventually report.  Some of the work will be done at school and some of the work will be done as homework.  The students will begin ALL their work at school, but the following websites will offer assistance when the students begin working at home.  More information will follow about our study of the human body!

• Arnold and his Organs:  Help Arnold find and replace his organs. This is a very basic site to show students where everything is inside their bodies
• BBC Interactive Body:  Pick a game,male or female, and rotate the organs/bones and place them in the correct place. The "fact sheet" has information on each organ.  
• Kid's Health:  The Nemours Foundation's Center for Children's Health Media - excellent information for parents, kids and teens in easy to understand language.
• Yucky Gross & Cool Body:  What makes the human body work?  Explore gross body sounds and yucky body parts!
• National Geographic Human Body:  Explore the human body!
