Human Body Systems — Worksheets

Today I’m sharing our Human Body Systems Worksheets with you.  This set provides an overview of the Body’s major systems. It also talks about human cells, tissues and organs.

Human Body Systems and Organs WorksheetsOnce a year, we usually learn about one of the human body systems.  One year, we went into great detail one year about the Skeletal System. Another year,  we studied the digestive system.  And recently, we learned about the circulatory system. We usually start off with an overview of the human body systems.

Human Body Sytems UnitsWe often start with a fun album called the Body Systems Rock (affiliate link). The kids *love* it!!  We borrowed it from the library, but it’s available at Amazon. The first song goes over the body systems in a fun, general way and we used that as a spring-board for talking about all the systems.

One year, I made this matching page of the body systems and we did this page one morning to add to their science notebooks.

BodySystemsWorksheet

We had two books we used a lot for these units: Human Anatomy Coloring Book (affiliate link) has pages you can print out and color in.

Human-Anatomy-Coloring-BookAnd the The Body Book: Easy-to-Make Hands-on Models That Teach (affiliate link) has really neat models that you can make. We did the joints, bones of the body (see our model here), and some other things, but more about those in those other posts. 🙂

BodyBook-Hands-on-ActivitiesIf you have kids that are 6-8 years old, you might also want to check out April Chloe Terrazas’s book, Anatomy and Physiology, Part 2 Body Systems. At the moment it has all 5 star ratings over at Amazon! [We loved her book about Cellular Biology as well (that was how the kids learned the function of the organelles!) You can see more about our Cells Unit here.]

Anatomy-Physiology2When the kids were 7, 9 and 11, we did another unit on Human Body Systems again. We had just done unit on the Study of Cells (see more at this post). It seemed only logical to learn more about the cells of the human body. I made the kids some new notebook pages for this portion of our unit about cells, tissues, organs and the body systems.

The kids spent quite a bit of time on how the human body is organized… from cells to tissues, then organs and finally the human body systems.    I go in a lot more detail about these new human body worksheets here: Organization of the Human Body: Cells, Tissues, Organs, Systems .

We added a few new worksheets to the human body systems packet recently.  This time, we focused more on the organs in each body system and their organs. Plus, we also added a page on the integumentary/skin system which is the body’s largest organ.  These are included in this packet as well:

My daughter (now in 9th grade) went into a bit more detail about the four types of tissue.  You’ll find those on pages 30-42 or so. 4 types of tissue in the human bodyYou might be interested in our Human Body BUNDLE more details below or visit the Human Body Systems BUNDLE page or visit our store.

So back to our overview of the Human Body Systems:  I mentioned above that the kids really love the catchy song — “Body System Rocks.”    They wrote down some of the lyrics to the song and some of the key organs connected with each body system in the chart below.

immune system — defends our body  skeletal system — all your bones  excretory system — cleans our body of poisons  muscular system — all your muscles  endocrine system is in control of the thyroid glands  digestive system — mouth and stomach  respiratory system — delivers your oxygen  nervous system — is your control center  circulatory system — is your life pump that keeps your blood flowing

This worksheet is part of the Human Body Systems Worksheet Sets

BodySystemChart2

If the album,  Body Systems Rock (affialiate link), is not available at your local library, it is available at Amazon. You can even just download the one song (“Body System Rocks” and/or listen to a preview) for 99 cents. It’s cute and catchy and great for kids ages 4-10.

We also purchased the SmartLab Toys Squishy Human Body (affiliate link). We pulled that out again and the kids had a lot of fun poking and exploring that again! We talked about it in more depth when we delved into our Digestive System Unit.

Each year usually in the spring semester, we focus on the human body.

We often spend a little bit of time reviewing what we learned the previous year and then add to what we learned.

If you have younger kids, you might want to just jump right in with the Skeletal System Unit and/or the Digestive System Unit.

Once my kids were a little older (with my youngest in 2nd grade and my older two in upper elementary) – we started covering and reviewing Cells (the organelles and their function) each year. I want them to feel comfortable with the names and have a general idea of the “jobs” each of these organelles have. By reviewing it each spring, they’ve gradually come to understand how these work together a little better each year. That will be helpful once they get to high school level biology.

If you have a student who is 8+ you might want to do the units in this order:

Note: Since our family studies one major system each year, sometimes we skim over some of this so we can dive in depth into that particular body system.

  • Cell Unit
  • Photosynthesis (and you can do a little tangent about atoms and building molecules)
  • Human Body Systems (Depending on the age of your kids, you might want to just introduce them to the major human body systems and then move straight on to one of the units below… or you can spend a little time talking about how cells/tissues/organs/body systems work as a whole. The packet you are getting includes ALL the materials, but I’ve added to this over the course of several years, so don’t feel like you need to cover all of this at once!
  • Skeletal System – We almost always review the major bones of the body each year. Some years, we go into more depth about things like the structure of bones or the axial system. Other times, we review the major bones and move on!
  • Digestive System – This was a fun, hands-on unit. I would suggest you do this one before the Circulatory System unit.
  • Circulatory System – In this unit my kids were in elementary and middle school so we did some data collecting, graphing and other activities. If you have younger kids, you can just focus on the blood system (how blood leaves the heart and enters the lungs to pick up oxygen, then returns to the heart where it is sent off to the extremities).
  • Muscular System
