Digestive System

Hey kids...
  Here are some resources to support your learning about this body system.

As we review, let´s take a look at the main parts, review the function, and try to make connections between other systems.  Let´s also consider ways to take care of our system and illnesses that can occur in this system.

Respiratory System

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

* How the Respiratory System Works

* Respiratory System Song

Respiratory System Research

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 ...

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

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.







HOMEWORK-
1. What is the connection between my respiratory system and the trees in the forest? 
(Connection between UOI2 & 3)
2. What lifestyle habits promote a healthy respiratory system and a healthy environment?
 Try to think of 3 possible examples.

What does it mean to be healthy?

Hey,
Do YOU have a healthy lifestyle?
How do you know? What do you do to maintain a healthy body and mind?
Lets reflect about our own lives and what is happening in the world.  What are people doing to try to live healthier!

You are not restricted to these news sites... you may search to find conclusions.

Your Goal today after reading & researching is to create a mindmap of ways people arouind the world are trying to live healthier. You may use G-drawings or anyother program you know...
Thanks & Have fun!
