ALL SYSTEMS GO!!!!! was the title of our activity today. We reviewed the Circulatory systems, it's four main parts (heart, veins, arteries and capillaries) and it's main function (pumping blood). We reviewed the Digestive system and it's nine main parts (teeth, mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, small intestine and large intestine) and it's main function (processing and digesting food). We also reviewed the Respiratory system and it's six main parts (nose, naval cavity, trachea, bronchial tubes, lungs and diaphragm) and it's main function (breathing). The students received pictures of each and color coded the parts for easy reviewing. Please encourage them to study the functions of each system.
