Grade 5s! It's the end of our discussion on the human skeleton. We have been learning the names of different bones in our bodies and have done a lot of activities involving our knowledge and understanding of our bones' purposes. To help you study for our upcoming test, Miss Evers has found a great game that you can play to help you study and prepare for a successful test. Click on the link below and play the game under "Skeleton and Bones."

Once you have played the game enough to know you will get 100% on your test, you can look ahead into our next topic in the study of the human body - the heart (a part of the circulatory system.) Click on the link below to find some interesting facts about the human heart!

Parents:

In the Grade 5 Science Curriculum document, there is a strand on "Understanding Life Systems: Human Organ Systems."Under this strand, Grade 5 students are expected to "identify major systems in the human body (i.e. musculoskeletal system) and describe their roles" (page 100). We have been looking at the musculoskeletal system and will be moving into the circulatory system (the heart) very shortly. I have provided a link as a study resource for the skeletal system and have provided a link as an introduction to the circulatory system, should your child wish to prepare.
