Description

Did you know that your brain has up to 100 billion nerve cells? Wow! What else is going on in your body?In The Human Body: Get Under the Skin with Science Activities for Kids, middle schoolers learn about the different bodily systems that keep people breathing, moving, thinking, and staying healthy! Kids get a good look at all the action that's going on right inside their own bodies, from understanding just how that apple turns into energy to how the "leftovers" make their exit.By studying the circulatory system, the digestive system, muscles, bones, the brain, senses, reproduction system, and more, kids gain a deep understanding of why they can do the things they do and even learn about what they can do to take care of their bodies so they live long and healthy lives. Through science-minded STEM activities, readers see exactly how smoke affects the lungs, how the heart really acts as a liquid pump, and how the different joints are structured and serve different purposes. The Human Body includes critical thinking exercises and essential questions related to anatomy. Fun facts, links to online primary sources and other supplemental material, plus graphic novel illustrations and photography encourage readers to take a deep dive under their skin! Nomad Press books integrate content with participation. Common Core State Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, and STEM Education all place project-based learning as key building blocks in education. Combining content with inquiry-based projects stimulates learning and makes it active and alive. Nomad's unique approach simultaneously grounds kids in factual knowledge while allowing them the space to be curious, creative, and critical thinkers.

Introduction

Wen you ook in te mirror, you see te same “you” wo’s aways ooking back. It’s easy to go troug your day seeping, eating, waking, taking, doing omework—a witout tinking about it too muc. But under your skin, you’ve got an amazing set of systems tat are working togeter to create te ife you ive.

Dîd you know you’ve got a rîver însîde o you? You do, sort o—your boodstream! Just as a rea rîver carrîes boats up and down te waterways to teîr destînatîons, so does yourbloodstream, suttîngoxygenand waste products a around your body.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION

Why are all of the systems of the body important? How does our body let us do what we want and keep us alive?

And you’ve got a urnace system, too. Your body canregulateîts own temperature, cooîng you down or warmîng you up. You stay te perect temperature to keep a your systems on “go.”

WORDS TO KNOW

bloodstream:the blood moving through the body of a person or animal. oxygen:a gas in the air that animals and humans need to breathe to stay alive. regulate:to control or to keep steady. lever:a bar resting on a pivot used to lift and move objects. joint:the point where two bones meet and move relative to one another. Xray:a photograph taken by using Xrays, a wavelength that can penetrate a solid. humors:the ﬂuids that people used to believe were responsible for the health of the human body. These included black bile, phlegm, blood, and yellow bile. organism:any living thing. cell:the basic unit or part of a living thing. germs:harmful microorganisms, which are organisms that are too small to be seen with a microscope.

You aso aveleversîn te orm o bones andjointsand a îgy deveoped computer system caed te braîn—a tucked înto your skîn în a neat order!

Have you ever thought abouthow it all works?

DISCOVERING THE BODY

An illustration in a book from 1574 shows representations of the four humors people thought ruled the body.

All By Myself Some parts of your body you can control, such as your movement or your speech. These are voluntary actions. Other parts of your body function all by themselves, without you having to think about them at all. These are involuntary. Do you think about your heart pumping blood? Do you have to tell your body to digest your dinner? Your body even works when you’re sleeping! Your lungs keep sucking in air and releasing waste, your heart is beating, and your brain is even giving you something to dream about during the night!
