This resource supports stage 3 students to explore the function and interrelationship of body systems within the PDHPE syllabus. This resource is also of considerable assistance to year 8 science students to help them visualise and understand the body systems of multi-cellular organisms and for year 9 science students to understand how the systems are coordinated. It addresses the Australian Curriculum ICT capability.
