Unit Summary

This biology unit focuses on two of our major internal systems – the digestive and respiratory systems. For each one, we delve into the major organs and functions of each system and also explore how we can keep our organs and systems protected and healthy. This unit also includes lessons on medicinal and recreational drugs.

The key skill being honed during this unit is presenting scientific information in a variety of ways to display and share knowledge.
