Today students did a concept map of the human body systems.  They were to include the name of each required system-

-integumentary system

-nervous system

-digestive system

-circulatory/cardiovascular system

-skeletal system

-respiratory system 

and then list the organs that make up that system and the function of each of those organs.  Block 4 and 5 need to complete these for homework.

All blocks need to bring in a piece of poster board or a large light colored piece of paper before I see them again this weeki.  They will use these for an in class plant project.  Poster board can be purchased at the school store!
