Process

While standing inside the mouth, you feel a gust of wind. Junior just yawned. The wind carried you down and down into the lungs. You are about to begin your first tour: __ SYSTEM 1- THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM __ Here is a quick tour of the respiratory system. Click on [|respiratory animation] to begin. When you finish, you can proceed to [|respiratory labels] to review the parts of the respiratory system.
 * //the respiratory system//**

Now that you have an idea how the respiratory system works, let's follow the journey of air as it is breathed in through the airways into the lungs. Find out how oxygen is absorbed and moved around the body, while carbon dioxide is produced and breathed out. See how the diaphragm causes the chest to expand during breathing. click for [|Today's activity]

As you travel, record all essential information by filling out this

If you are interested in finding out what happens to your breathing rate when you are walking or running, click on [|activities].

While you are traveling down to the stomach, you suddenly experience a major earth quake. What could that be? In case you want to know: [|What are hiccups?]

Now that you are deep inside the lungs, you squeeze through the thin walls of the alveoli and hopped onto one of the traveling red blood cell. You are now about to enter: the **//circulatory system.//**

__ SYSTEM 2- THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM __ Interactive Experience Here is a quick tour of the circulatory system. Click on [|circulatory animation] to begin. When you finish you can click on [|circulatory labels] to review all the parts of the circulatory system.

Now that you have an idea of how blood flows through the circulatory system, click on [|Today's activity: Heart and circulation] to further investigate how the system works.

Fill in the to record all the information you will need for your project.

Print out and follow the direction on this work sheet to find out the path of blood flow.

You had a great time flowing down the aorta but now is time to go to the next system. __ SYSTEM 3- THE SKELETAL SYSTEM __

 First let’s test your knowledge and see how much you already know about the skeletal system. Click here to go to the [|Think Quest] TODAY’S ACTIVITY- So we now know that you already have some knowledge about the skeletal system, click on the next link to take a virtual tour in your quest to discover more about it [|Virtual Tour]  Now that you know more about the skeletal system, your task is to construct a detailed concept map using inspiration. First you must locate the blank skeletal diagram and copy and paste it into your inspiration document, from this website [|Blank skeletal diagram] Using your knowledge you have just learnt about the skeletal system, build your own by labelling ‘major bones’ in the body and other interesting facts you have discovered while on your journey through the skeletal system.

[|For extra help] on designing your skeletal diagram.

In case you are wondering: [|Is funny bone a bone?]

Now that you have gone through 3 systems, you are feeling a little tired. It is time to get out. The thought of leaving the body through the digestive system isn't the most pleasant one. But it has to be done. So, here it goes

__ SYSTEM 4- THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM __

Let us find out what happens to the food we eat: [|In digestion]

Here is a fun activity that you will help you review the various function of the digestive system: [|Digest Quest] Fill out this as you play the game.

Now that you have traveled through the digestive system, how well do you know where all the organs are? Try this to find out: [|organise your organs]

Complete this to use for your project.

In case you want to know more, [|the stinky question.] Welcome back!
