Human Body – Organs & Body Systems Enquire Now Hands-on Science Incursion on our major body systems! Students will gain an appreciation of the complexity of the human body and life in this fun school science workshop when your classroom becomes a biology lab! In this anatomy workshop, we; Explain the interrelationship among cells, tissues and organs Identify the role of the digestive, circulatory, respiratory and excretory systems of humans, and name the major organs Annotate representations of models of organ systems to describe their processes and functions Describe how the structures of organ systems, and the specialised cells within these systems, enable them to carry out their functions Describe how the components of each body system interact to allow the efficient functioning of an organism Full risk assessments are available on request. Available as a high school science incursion within Australia or as a video conference to any school around the globe! Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the same curriculum points will be covered, but the activities may vary from those listed for face-to-face incursions. Our online classes include demonstrations, Q&A, and hands-on activities (you will receive a materials list upon booking). Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged, we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)
