This is a complete ACTIVITY-BASED human body organ systems unit. This bundle includes every resource you need to teach and assess NGSS MS-LS1-3.

All of the work has been done for you – from start to finish! An included unit plan tells you what to teach and when, so you don’t even have to think about it. Just PRINT AND GO!

This unit is composed of several mini-units, one for each of 10 body systems. Students will be introduced to each body system with a presentation and an engaging information stations activity.
