Overview
•
Student Expectation
– The student is expected to identify the main functions of the systems of the human organism,
including the circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, excretory, reproductive,
integumentary, nervous, and endocrine systems.
•
Key Concepts
– Key Concept 1: The circulatory system circulates blood through the body, supplies cells with
oxygen and nutrients and removes waste products.
– Key Concept 2: The respiratory system supplies blood with oxygen in the lungs and removes
carbon dioxide.
– Key Concept 3: The skeletal system holds organs in place, provides a structural support for the
body and its muscles, stores minerals and contains materials to make new blood cells.
– Key Concept 4: The muscular system allows the body to move when attached to bone, and
allows movement in internal organs such as the heart and intestines.
– Key Concept 5: The digestive system converts food into simpler substances for the body to
absorb as nutrients. Breakdown of food also provides energy for all body functions.

Teacher Background
A resource document which gives teachers relevant and
essential background knowledge on the science concept being
addressed.
• Objectives
– Example - 7.12B Identify the main functions of the systems of
the human organism, including the circulatory, respiratory,
skeletal, muscular, digestive, excretory, reproductive,
integumentary, nervous, and endocrine systems. Supporting
Standard
• Foundation
– Example - The human body is made up of several organ systems
that work together as one unit. Each system depends on the
others, either directly or indirectly, allowing the body to
function normally and maintain homeostasis.
Standards Correlation

Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Statement:
The student knows that living systems at all levels of
organization demonstrate the
complementary nature of structure and function.
Student Expectation:
The student is expected to identify the main functions of
the systems of the human organisms, including the
circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive,
excretory, reproductive, integumentary, nervous, and
endocrine systems.
1. The circulatory system circulates blood through the
body, supplies cells with
oxygen and nutrients, and removes waste products.
2. The respiratory system supplies blood with oxygen in
the lungs and removes
carbon dioxide.
1. What is the function of the circulatory system?
2. What is the function of the respiratory system?
3. What is the function of the skeletal system?
Demonstration Presentation
A pre-made slide presentation to elicit prior knowledge and excite students about learning the
topic.
Starters!
A set of ideas and activities that teachers can do to further get
students interested in the concept.
1. Body Outline
Using long sheets of butcher paper, students trace their bodies onto
the butcher paper. As each body system is discussed in class, the
student adds the body system name and organs involved onto their
butcher paper body.
2. Mime-A-System
Call on a student to act out a particular body system (shown only to
him/her) in front of the class using no words. The rest of the class
guesses the body system.
3. Organ Pointers
Teacher calls out a body system to the class. Students respond by
pointing to an organ on their body that is related to the body system.
Pre-Assessment
A multiple choice quiz that helps determine what
students do and do not know before instruction on the
topic.
Teacher Guide
A guide that helps the teacher with preparation of the Explore
activity; provides facilitation points and black line masters.
Description of Activity:
In this Explore activity, student groups rotate through 10 stations featuring
the human body systems. Students learn the functions and organs of each
body system. Alternatively, teachers may wish to use only some of these
stations, depending on learning goals and needs.
Materials List:
Create stations for each body system using the materials listed. Divide
students into pairs. Per group indicates materials needed at the station and
which can be re-used for each pair.
