Life Science Unit 6: Body Systems

This is the sixth unit of the Life Science course for middle school students. It focuses on human body systems and includes 6 lessons:

  1. Nervous System
  2. Respiratory System
  3. Circulatory System
  4. Musculoskeletal System
  5. Digestive System
  6. Body Systems Wrap-Up

In these lessons, students will learn about the main systems within their own body, as well as how to keep them healthy.

Unit Overview: Body Systems

This unit is designed to deepen student understanding of body systems. 

Throughout this unit, students will learn how cells work together to create body systems. Additionally, they will learn about the structure and function of human body systems, including how to care for them.
