Hello Human Body!
Hello everyone. As we have made the turn and are on the downhill side of the 2nd quarter, both 8th and 6th grade health classes are starting their big projects for the year. The following paragraphs give a little insight into what each grade is doing.
8th Grade Health - The 8th grade students recently started their body systems project. Along with their group, the students will make a Google slides presentation that goes over certain body systems. The systems are the endocrine, nervous, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, digestive, urinary, and respiratory systems. They will then present these when they come back from Thanksgiving break and then will end the quarter by going over nutrition and how they plays a role in the human body as well.
6th Grade Health - The 6th grade is following right in line with the 8th grade. We have just finished talking about Making good decision and self-esteem and now they will also be going into the body systems. They will be crating a Google slide show just like the 8th graders. The systems that they will be covering are the skeletal, muscular, digestive, circulatory, respiratory, and the nervous system. They will also be presenting these after the break as well and then will also be going over nutrition to finish the quarter.
For the first half of the quarter the classes are on different paths of learning different topics and ideas but as we start the latter half, they know starting on the same things. Even though it's the same topic each year it goes more in depth to keep building off the previous year.
I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and have a great break!
