The Human Body: What Are You Made Of? - 4C (Gr. 4-7) - In this biology centered class, the students take a deeper look at the structural and functional basis of life: the cell. They delve into what cells look like and how the sub cellular components support the functioning of the cell as well as the whole organism. Students will work on fun projects to make sense of the micro and macro levels of the cellular organization and its integration into the whole body.
The Human Body: What Can Your Body Do? - 4A (Gr. 4-7) - This class is geared towards understanding how the body functions as a whole and is made up of subsystems. Students will explore the workings of select systems through uniquely designed modeling strategies. They will participate in correlating how the needs of the body are met and devise the ideal plan for a healthy lifestyle.
