1 Review of 10 major human body systems using a puzzle technique Systems Shuffle By: Heidi Hisrich of The Dork Side

2 Teaching students about the different human body systems is one of my favorite things to do! But after I teach it, they always need some interactive ways to review. This activity should be done by students to review/summarize what they learned. There are MANY fun ways to teach the information! I particularly like to break the class into teams of 3-4 students and assign each team a different system. They then research that system and become experts, teaching the rest of the class about their system. As part of that project they can sketch the system on a full-scale outline of a person or even build the system 3 dimensionally. As the students listen to the presentations of one another, they can do this activity to summarize what they are learning. Alternately, they can do it for homework to show that they understood the systems. Here s what to do: 1. Provide the students with the puzzle pieces 2. Tell them what to do with the pieces. Options are: a. Just color code each set of 3 that goes together and don t cut anything out b. Cut them out and glue them onto the table provided, matching each system s name to the organs and job of the system c. Cut them out and glue them into a journal/notebook. We notebook lots so I like this option I have provided a key to the activity on page 5. Obviously the kids can put the systems in any order, as long as they match the system name to the organs and job. I ve also included a picture of the activity completed in a student s journal (below). It fits nicely on a single page of a composition book. Like this activity?

3 Name: Class Period: System Role Organs

4 Cut along dotted lines & then glue these onto the table provided, showing which organs are in each system and what each system s job is. KEY ORGANS bones, joints, cartilage, tendons KEY ORGANS mouth, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gall bladder, pancreas Muscular KEY ORGANS kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra Job: COMMUNICATES Receives signals from body (senses, etc.) & coordinates a response, tells other systems what to do Cardiovascular KEY ORGANS heart & vessels (veins, arteries, capillaries) Skeletal KEY ORGANS nasal cavity/mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, lungs Job: DELIVERS carries food/oxygen & hormones to all cells & waste products away Job: PROTECTS filters/traps pathogens & makes white blood cells & antibodies to fight disease Job: COVERS keeps internal parts in and outside stuff out, maintains body temp, protects tissues below Endocrine Urinary Respiratory KEY ORGANS hypothalamus, pituitary gland, pineal gland, adrenal glands, ovaries, testes, thyroid, pancreas Job: CLEANS filters/cleans blood, removing cellular waste, maintains water balance KEY ORGANS lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, bone marrow, appendix, tonsils/adenoids, bone marrow, skin Digestive Job: EXCHANGES trades oxygen for carbon dioxide, bringing in O 2 and removing CO 2 waste KEY ORGANS heart, diaphragm, tongue, sphincters, smooth muscle around vessels & digestive organs, skeletal muscles for body movement KEY ORGANS skin, nails, hair, sebaceous and sweat glands Immune KEY ORGANS brain, spinal cord, nerves (sensory lead to brain and motor from brain to muscles) Job: CONTROLS secretes hormones that target cells/organs & tell them to do certain jobs Job: MOVES moves materials around the body, allows body to move & position itself & makes heat Integumentary Nervous Job: SUPPORTS makes blood, stores minerals, protects internal organs & allows muscle attachments Job: NOURISHES breaks down food into nutrients & absorbs them into blood, removes toxin taken in through food or drink
