This unit is
designed to educate fifth grade students on
five of the body systems found in the human
body. The five systems we will be covering
are: the circulatory system, the respiratory
system, the nervous system, the digestive
system, and the skeletal system. Not only
will students be learning the functions of
each of these systems, they will also be
learning the functions of many of the major
organs/bones in each system as well.
Each student will be assigned a particular
portion (one or more organs/bones) of a body
system and will be responsible for becoming
an expert about their body part. After doing
research students will be creating
individual PowerPoint slides and
collaborating with slides from students
researching the other body parts found in
their body system to present an entire
PowerPoint presentation to the class about
their body system. Students will be assessed
both on the accuracy of their content as
well as theoverall design and layout of
their individual slides.
