Our Amazing Bodies

by Mrs. Sara Ashley Yurosko

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

The Digestive System

We had so much fun learning about the digestive system. We used bananas and crackers to illustrate how food works its way through the digestive system.

The Respiratory System

Our study of the respiratory system focused more on our responsibility to make sure to stay active and keep our respiratory system healthy

The Skeletal System

Our good friend Mr. Bones helped us to understand the importance of all the bones and why they all look so different. We learned about how our Creator was so purposeful in His design of our skeletal system. Our responsibility is to make sure to feed and exercise our bodies to grow strong bones while we are young.

The Muscular System

We learned how the muscle fibers slide across each other to contract our muscles. Exercise is super important for muscles to keep them healthy and strong.

The Circulatory System

We learned that our circulatory system is the highway for nutrients, gases, and waste through our body. We also learned that the heart has four chambers and why each of them is important.
