Senses, Nervous & Respiratory Systems Gr. 5-8

By Susan Lang

Continue your journey into the human body with a stop at the brain and lungs. Our resource is written in an easy-to-understand way that makes it a hit for students. Start by dissecting the different parts of the brain and learning what they do. Move through the nervous system from the spinal cord to the nerves. Visit all five senses, beginning with sight. Learn how the brain interprets things we see with our eyes. Find the smallest bone in the human body in the ear. Play some memory games to test your sense of touch. See firsthand how taste and smell are linked with a blind experiment. Find out how the mouth, nose, trachea, epiglottis, and lungs come together to form our respiratory system. Conduct an experiment to see just how much air your lungs can hold. Aligned to the Next Generation State Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
