Organ Systems Worksheet: Compare Digestive and Respiratory

This organ systems worksheet is in our Complete Human Body Systems Curriculum!

Take your review to a deeper level by having students compare and contrast the digestive and respiratory systems.

This worksheet has two parts:

  • Organize ideas about how the respiratory system and digestive system are alike (they take in substances the body needs, have specialized structures for absorption, etc.) and how they are different.
  • Compare and contrast the role of villi and alveoli, focusing on how they both function based on surface area.

This is a nice way to do more than just a rote review – it works to get kids thinking about body systems on a deeper level.
