This title supports the following learning objectives for Key Stage 2 Science. Students should be taught to: Identify that humans get nutrition from what they eat and recognise the impact of diet and exercise on the way their bodies function. Identify that humans have skeletons and muscles for support, protection and movement. Describe the functions of the digestive system, teeth and circulatory system (heart, blood vessels and blood). Recognise that living things produce offspring that are not identical to their parents. Describe the changes as humans develop to old age. Each book in this series of 10 gives students the chance to work scientifically: 1. Ask questions and use scientific enquiries and evidence to answer them 2. Set up simple practical enquiries and tests 3. Make observations, take measurements, use scientific equipment 4. Gather, record, classify and present data using scientific language, drawings, labelled diagrams and charts 5. Use results to draw conclusions, make predictions and ask new questions. This series is supported with free downloadable teacher resources and worksheets.
