Description

(click here to see curriculum links)

Using anatomy models, interactive demonstrations and audience participation we will explore major body systems, especially the skeletal system, muscle system and the cardiac and respiratory systems. As well as making connections between different body systems, we will also look at some of the signs of our connection to other vertebrates, and some of the advantages and disadvantages of our ancestors 'standing tall' will be discussed.

 

You then have the option to explore either:

  • The Digestive System - follow the journey of your food “from chew to poo”
  • Sensory Systems - briefly explore the interaction between your five external senses and your brain, along with a few more internal senses you never knew you had
  • Reproductive Systems - using models, get anatomically detailed about where we all came from and the progression of a pregnancy

 

Let us know what you'd like to see and we'll do our best to include it.

There are differences within and between groups of organisms; classification helps organise this diversity (ACSSU111)

Multi-cellular organisms contain systems of organs that carry out specialised functions that enable them to survive and reproduce (ACSSU150)

 

Year 9

Multi-cellular organisms rely on coordinated and interdependent internal systems to respond to changes to their environment (ACSSU175)

The theory of evolution by natural selection explains the diversity of living things and is supported by a range of scientific evidence (ACSSU185)
