Have you ever wondered what happens after we breathe?

How does the air travel inside our body?

Here we have a few videos for you to watch and learn about the respiratory system.









Respiratory System Research


1. Parts of the Respiratory System

2. What does the respiratory system supply you with?

3. What materials are lungs made of?

4. Where does oxygenated blood go into?

5. What's the name of some tiny sacs in the lungs?

6. What are the names of these processes: 
a) Breath in ...
b) Breath out ...

As you know, we are studying our Body Systems in order to understand how our body works.



Please watch and analyse this video about "the Cell" and its components: Click here   The Cell Structure


There is an important system that we want you to study which is:  The Respiratory System

Biology/INQUIRY meets Watercolour Art Projects

Hey kids,
Could science become ART?

  Would you like to try to represent the basic component of life, a cell,  through watercolour? 
Try using your techniques to represent a plant or animal cell.  
Don´t forget to bring your results to share. 
Have fun learning and expressing yourselves!






Biology- The study of life... Let´s start with a CELL.

Hey kids,
 Our new UOI requires us to review what we know and build our knowledge! Let´s review the cell and its parts. 
 Try to learn the parts and its function and we will grow from there...

Healthy Bodies- How are our body systems interconnected? How do we maintain balance?

Hey kids,
  During this UOI  please always go back to your personal life, reflect on your actions or your habits to maintain a physical or emotional balance. Always try to find a way to connect your real life with our learning!
This week our first system we want to investigate about is our Respiratory System. After todays discussion you have told me we know that all systems are interconnected and rely on one another.  We have also discussed that 2 systems are highly important and vital to life.... our Respiratory system and Circulatory system.
I want you to reflect on why you think that is so.
