GRADE 5 Life SCIENCE - HUMAN BODY systems
Update - April 6, 2020 - Covid 19
If you are a teacher looking for resources to support your class, you probably don't have access to a Science Probe 5 textbook. Actually neither do I anymore. Luckily, another teacher has made it available to his students online! Although I don't recommend doing this, as a solution to helping our students learn during this unprecedented time, I am sharing the link.

Students will describe the basic structure and functions of the human respiratory, digestive, circulatory, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems and explain how the different body systems are interconnected.
We will be using the Nelson Science Probe Grade 5 text book along with a number of enrichment materials including The Human Body unit from Lightbulb Minds, a Squishy Brain to dissect and put back together and oodles and oodles of iPad apps and short videos. Let's get started - this is going to be fun!
