Human Body

Grade/Class: Grade 5 Science

Context: Student learn about the Human Body and the 5 major systems (and their organs) that allow the body to operate.

Learning: As a culminating project to demonstrate their understanding, students were organized into small groups within each class and given the opportunity to select a disease or condition that affects one of systems in the human body. Each group conducted comprehensive research, and collaborated to compile their findings and create an informative slideshow, showcasing their collective learning. Additionally, the students were tasked with constructing a visual model in the STEAM Lab that represented how their chosen disease impacts the respective human body system. Their final presentations were displayed at the Human Body Science Fair for visiting classes to learn. By combining research, visual representation, and collaborative learning, this culminating project not only facilitated a deeper understanding of the human body systems but also nurtured their research, presentation, and teamwork skills.
