Inside the Human Body

Help students explore how their bodies work through simplified instruction, engaging stories, and hands-on learning. This adapted science unit teaches the digestive, respiratory, circulatory, muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems using visuals, repeated routines, and real-life examples that make complex concepts easy to understand.

Students follow relatable characters—Sara, Tony, Riley, Beth, and Sam—as they eat, breathe, move, dance, and exercise. These stories help learners connect body systems to everyday actions while reinforcing key vocabulary and concepts.

The unit includes seven structured lessons with interactive tasks such as sorting, matching, sequencing, pulse checks, breathing observations, and system identification. A complete Teacher Guide is included for easy implementation, offering answer keys, accommodations, modifications, and suggestions for using the stories during instruction.
