Hello Again Grade 5's!
As we discussed in Science class today, for the next few weeks we will be studying the various functions of the human body. We will be learning all about the 5 major organ systems, which include the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, excretory, and nervous system. Your homework assignment for the week is to explore each of the web sites below that explore the human body. You must find at least 1 interesting fact for all 5 major organ systems, focusing on exactly what the major organs do. Good luck, and have fun!
"Mr. Bones" will tell you all about how your muscles and skeleton function:

Learn more about the digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems:
http://kidshealth.org/kid/body/mybody_SW.html
Take a virtual tour of the human body:
http://www.medtropolis.com/Vbody.asp
This site allows you to explore the nervous system:
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/neurok.html
You will love this site, you can learn gross and cool facts about the human body:
http://yucky.discovery.com/flash/
The specific Grade 5 Science expectations that will be covered in this student activity are:
-Students will describe the basic structure and function of the major organs in the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, excretory, and nervous systems

-Students will describe the basic structure and function of the major organs in the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, excretory, and nervous systems
-Students will describe, using models and simulations, ways in which the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems work together to produce movement
-Students will use appropriate vocabulary, including correct science and technology terminology, in describing their investigations, explorations, and observations (e.g., use of terms such as teeth, esophagus, stomach, and gastric juices in describing the digestive system)
