In the first eight weeks of school, we focus on the human body. The unit covers cells, tissues, organs and the major body systems. Basic information is presented in a text format and PowerPoint presentation format.
Unit B: Human Biology
Chapter 1: Systems, Support, and Movement
1.1: The Human Body is Complex (pp. 9 - 13)
1.2: The Skeletal System Provides Support and Protection (pp. 14 - 21)
1.3: The Muscular System Makes Movement Possible (pp. 22 - 29)
Chapter 2: Absorption, Digestion, and Exchange
2.1: The Respiratory System Gets Oxygen and Removes Carbon Dioxide (pp. 37 - 44)
2.2: The Digestive System Breaks Down Food (pp. 45 - 51)
2.3: The Urinary System Removes Waste Materials (pp. 52 - 55)
Chapter 3: Transport and Protection
3.1: The Circulatory System Transports Materials (pp. 65 - 73)
3.2: The Immune System Defends the Body (pp. 74 - 82)
3.3: The Integumentary System Shields the Body (pp. 83 - 89)
Chapter 4: Control and Reproduction
4.1: The Nervous System Responds and Controls (pp. 101 - 109)
Chapter 5: Growth, Development, and Health
5.1: The Human Body Changes Over Time (pp. 133 - 139)
5.2: Systems in the Body Function to Maintain Health (pp. 140 - 147)
