This promising practice lesson introduces students to several organ systems through an interactive online experience. The objective of the lesson is for students to understand that there are different systems within the body and that they work independently and together to form a functioning human body.

At this level, students can begin to view the body as a system in which parts do things for other parts and for the organism as a whole. Through the use of an online interactive activity, students learn about the concept of separate components working together to build a body system. In addition, this lesson focuses on activities to help students learn that body systems work together to build the functioning human body. This lesson could be used in conjunction with instruction on the human body and/or systems. (author/ts)
