Our new topic- Our bodies

We worked in groups to think about our next topic and thought about the following:

I can find out about some body systems and the problems that may develop and I can make informed decisions to keep myself healthy.

We decided our key learning should be:

  • What is a body system?
  • What problems can they have?
  • What is an informed decision?
  • What can we do to keep ourselves healthy?

What do we already know?

  • A body system is a system in your body
  • It might be skeletons.
  • We need to eat healthily.
  • We need to exercise.
  • Most of us did not know what a body system was.

I can find out about how is a sensory organ is made up and what it does and how the organ responds to outside conditions.

We decided our key learning should be:

  • What is a sensory organ?
  • How is a sensory organ made up?
  • What does a sensory organ do?
  • How does a sensory organ react to outside conditions?

What do we already know?

  • A sensory organ controls your senses.
  • Sensory organs are your fingers, eyes, ears, mouth, nose.

We want to find out about?

  • The brain
  • The heart
  • Digestion and excretion( a popular one!!!)
  • Our eyes and why do people have different colours?

How we want to do this?

  • Experiments
  • Videos
  • Taste tests
