Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
In this 12 week course, we will learn about basic human anatomy at an appropriate level for middle school age students. (Just a note that we will not be learning about the reproductive system in this course) Each student will have a human body packet with fill in the blank notes, label the body system pages, crossword puzzles and other extra activities to keep and review after class.

Week 1 Skeletal System: Learn the function of the skeletal system and the names of major bones.
Week 2 Skin/Integumentary System: Learn about the 3 layers of skin and how skin protects us.
Week 3 Muscular System: Learn about the 3 types of muscles. 
Week 4 Heart and Blood Vessels: Learn how blood is circulated thought the body.
Week 5 Blood Cells and Types: Learn what each blood cell does and about the 8 blood types.
Week 6 Immune System and Endocrine System: How do antibodies work? What is a hormone and what does it do?
Week 7 Lungs and Respiratory System: Learn how our body gets oxygen to our cells.
Week 8 Digestive System: Learn the path of food through our body and how we get nutrients to our cells.
Week 9 Excretory System: Learn how our kidneys filter blood though our bodies.
Week 10 Brain and Nervous System: Learn about the brain and what each part controls.
Week 11 Brain and Memory: Learn more about how memory works.
Week 12 Let's Review! Putting it all together! We will play a Kahoot game to review.

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!

Learning Goals

Students will have basic knowledge of human anatomy and physiology.
