Today, Ms. Gonzalez's 5th grade class learned more about three body systems that were introduced in their science class. We used a bellevue public schools website about the body to transition from cells (which they learned about a few weeks prior), to body systems. Students built on what we had learned about cells to talk about groups of cells that worked together (tissues), and bigger groups of cells that worked together to perform a function (organs), and organs that worked together to perform several related functions (body systems). We covered three systems ( the circulatory system, respiratory system, and skeletal system), today, and the website presented a thorough overview in accessible and grade appropriate language. To review what the students had learned about the systems, they took a quiz as a class. We passed the wireless mouse around the classroom, and table groups discussed the question at hand before clicking their response. Students appeared to enjoy the quizzes which were in the style of 'who wants to be a millionaire?'.
