Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
In this 8 week course, we will learn about basic human anatomy at a developmentally appropriate level for students 9-12 years old. (We will not cover the reproductive system in this class) This course combines my one-time anatomy and physiology classes into a multiple day course.

Week 1 Skeletal System: How many bones do I have?
Week 2 Skin and Muscles: Did you Know skin is our largest organ?
Week 3 Heart and Blood: How many times a minute does my heart beat?
Week 4 Lungs and Respiratory System: Our whole body needs oxygen!
Week 5 Digestive System: Where does that bite of food go?
Week 6 Urinary System: What to my Kidneys and Bladder do?
Week 7 Brain and Nervous System: The body's control center!
Week 8 Let's Review! Putting it all together!

I teach in an interactive way. I will be using google slides, short videos, hands on activities and class discussion to teach these topics. I love involving students by asking questions! Students do not need any prior knowledge of anatomy to take this class. My goal is for each student to have a fun learning and to inspire them to want to learn more about anatomy in the future! Students will have Kahoot games and Quizizz.com quizzes to assess what they remember from the lessons each week. We will either do these together in class or I will post them in the classroom.

Learning Goals

Students will have a basic understanding of anatomy and physiology of the human body.
