Human Body systems are one of my favorite topics of middle school science. Your student will be introduced to biology through a mix of videos, lecture, and activities. We will learn about the function of each system, the organ functions within the systems, and how to keep the system healthy. ⭐Lesson 1 Circulatory System Including- Blood Vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), blood (plasma, platelets, red blood cells, white blood cells) , and the heart. ⭐Lesson 2 Respiratory System Including- Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs, Alveoli, and Diaphragm ⭐Lesson 3 Urinary System Including- Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder, and Urethra ⭐Lesson 4 MusculoSkeletal Including - Bones, Tendons, Ligaments, Joints, skeletal tissue, smooth tissue, and cardiac tissue ⭐Lesson 5 Digestive System Including Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Small intestine, Large Intestine, Rectum, Anus, Liver, Gallbladder, and pancreas. If time allows, we will play GimKit to review concepts taught in class.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their knowledge of the human body. This will help them to prepare for learning the systems more in depth during their next year of science.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am Melissa. I teach 7th grade science. This is my 8th year teaching. I have a Bachelors in Education and a Masters in Biology. I am married with two daughters, 12 and 14, three dogs, and one cat. I guess you can say I love animals! I believe that everyone can learn, but we all learn differently. In my classroom, I will present the material in many different ways so that everyone learns. I also believe that learning is more long term when it is enjoyable. So, get ready to have some FUN! I want to build confidence in your learner through fun science, teaching video making, and gaming classes. I have loved science since I was a little girl, and I can't wait to share that passion with your learner.
When I am working with students, I encourage them to create a sense of community in our classes. They can chat with each other, and may play games together.
I encourage students to answer questions, and gain confidence in a virtual classroom I will use a variety of questions, at different levels, to assess learning during the class.

Melissa Kennedy's Virtual Class Policies:
1) I aim to keep classes close to the scheduled amount of time, however, classes with low enrollments or low student participation may run a few minutes under or a few minutes over.
3) Classes will begin on time, even if all learners are not in the classroom (unless there appears to be a technical issue). I will not contact absent learners during class time so I can focus on the learners who are present.
4) If no learners are in the classroom, I will wait 10 minutes before exiting the classroom.
5) Always feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I can't wait to meet your learner!Reviews
