Introduction: This set of activities is about understanding parts of the body and what they do. Part 1 is on the skeleton and muscles; it gets pupils to think about how a skeleton does the different things it needs to. Part 2 is on digestion and how the body gets what it needs from food. Part 3 is on circulation and how this system works. All three sections are directly related to the the can be used ‘Inside Human Body’ interactive tool, which before, during or after working on the activities with the pupils. Overall learning objectives Overall learning outcomes Part 1 The Skeleton-muscular system Part 1 The Skeleton-muscular system – – the functions of the skeleton clearly identify the key features of the skeleton • To understand • To able to explain various features of the explain the form and function of parts of the • To be • To skeleton skeleton relate images of bones, muscles and joints • To to diagrams and the body Part 2 The Digestive System Part 2 The Digestive System – – identify parts of the digestive system describe what happens to food as it goes • To • To through the body describe their function • To Part 3 The Circulatory System Part 3 The Circulatory System – – describe how the circulatory system works be able to explain what the circulatory system • To • To does and how describe the purpose of the main parts of the • To circulatory system Curriculum learning objectives: The human body will support the following national curriculum learning objectives at KS2.
