In the Classroom
Provide students with cards showing different organs and another set with body systems (e.g., digestive, circulatory). Have them match each organ to the correct system and explain its function. Set up learning stations with short clips, diagrams, and mini-experiments or models focused on specific systems (e.g., pulse checking for the circulatory system, balloon lungs for the respiratory system). After watching a video from the collection (like one on the circulatory system), students reflect in science journals or record videos on Padlet reviewed here explaining what they learned and posing a follow-up question.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
