Human Body Systems

Learning about the major Human Body Systems

Each year, usually in the spring semester, our family has learned about one of the major Human Body Systems. We started studying the human body when the kids were in elementary. We’ve circled back around to study these units again and I’ve added updates to each of these packets as my kids have gotten older (so as with many of our packets, these packets will suit a wide range of ages!)

Scroll down for lots of pictures – both of the worksheets/notebook pages as well as some of our hands-on activities!

We usually started with an overview of what Human Body Systems are and how they work (in general) from cells, tissues, organs to body systems. We’ve gone over this general set most every year. 🙂

Human Body Worksheets: Cells, Tissues, Organs, and the Human Body Systems

From there we moved on to a specific Human Body system

Skeletal System (bones, joints, tendons, etc.) – This unit has lots of hands-on activity ideas!
Digestive System – this unit also has a lot of hands on activities!
Circulatory System – with a really fun hands-on activity to trace the path of blood throughout the body!
Muscular System – three main types of muscles, voluntary and involuntary muscles, how these three muscle groups work, and the functions of these muscles.
Nervous System – covers the functions of the central and peripheral nervous systems, the anatomy of the brain, neurons and more
Reproductive System
Endocrine System – we’re working on that this year!

These can be purchased individually or in one of the Human Body BUNDLE Options that includes these packets:

These units can be purchased individually or together in our Human Body Bundle. I included some photos of these packets below.

$27.00 Human Body BUNDLE OPTION 2: Human Body Systems, A Study of Cells Unit, Skeletal System Packet, Digestive System, Circulatory System Unit, Muscular System Packet, Nervous System Packet, Reproductive System Worksheets (We often talked about cells as we started our Human Body Units… then went on to talk about human body cells, tissues, organs & systems… and then would move on to a different body system each year. Generally as homeschoolers, we covered just one or two major body systems each year before moving on to another science topic.)

Not included in the HUMAN BODY BUNDLES, but if you have younger kids you might be interested in this unit:
