My own words
Internet Paragraph
The bones are a very
important part of your body.
They keep you from being a
lump on the floor. So really
it’s the structural part of your
body. But what’s even more
important, is that they are so
hard, they can protect your
lungs, heart, and brain from
outside damage.
There are 206 bones, and that
the heart is also protected
by the sternum. The bones
allow movement of the body,
producing blood from the
body, and storing minerals.
The bones are important to
you in many ways. Finally,
they give shape to your
body.

Muscles!
My Paragraph
Internet Paragraph
The muscles are what make your
bones able to move up and
down. If you had no muscles,
you’d look like Frankenstein,
walking around with your legs
straight out! Your muscles are
kept strong by eating protein.
Protein is a mineral found in
meat and eggs. Without
muscles, it would be hard to do
everyday things like brush your
teeth and comb your hair!
Muscles are an important part of
our body and we don’t often
think about them.
The muscles are divided into three
sections. They are the Skeletal,
Cardiac, and smooth muscle.
Skeletal muscles are associated
with bones and cartilage. Cardiac
muscles are muscles like the
heart. Smooth muscles are
associated with viscera. (internal
organs.)

How to care for

My Paragraph
Internet paragraph
Skin is the largest and
heaviest organ that
you have. Skin is
called your “Birthday
Suit!” The skin
protects your
muscles and other
organs. You sweat
through your skin.
Skin is an animal’s soft outer
covering. Animals with
vertebrae have skin, in
particular. Skin is made up
of multiple layers. It also
provides insulation! Plus
temperature regulation. Who
knew it protects vitamin B!

of fatty meats, make sure you get
enough vitamin D, and B12, to

http://drbenkim.com/nervous-system-healthy.html
is like a lot of wires connecting
to your brain. So let’s say you
touched something hot- the
nervous system would tell
your brain, “Ouch! That’s hot!”
and reacts. Your sight is also
connected to your brain- it
analyzes what you’re seeing.
The nervous system, when
you get down to it, I think is
quite easy to understand
What I learned on the nervous system
The nervous system makes up your brain, spinal cord,
and all of your nerves. You couldn’t exist without it!
Tasting, smelling, seeing, hearing, thinking,
dreaming, breathing, heart beating, moving, running,
sleeping, laughing, singing, remembering, feeling pain
or pleasure, painting, writing, you can do it all with
your nervous system. As you can tell, the nervous
system makes up most of your body. The nervous
system is like dominos too! The nervous system makes
up the most important parts of your body!

What is the Digestive System?
What I know
What I learned
The digestive system is what
helps you digest (break
down) the food you eat. The
digestive system goes from
our mouth, to the esophagus,
into the stomach, through
your large and small
intestines, and… out The
stomach breaks down food
with a kind of acid. This acid
cannot break down gum
easily though.
The digestive system also helps
absorb food. The digestive
system helps break down the
food in a way so the body can
use it’s nutrients. Digestive
juices (saliva) help break
down food. The small
intestine has small hairs that
absorb the good stuff. Two
types of nerves help the
digestive system!

What about the circulatory
system?
The circulatory system
The circulatory system is
a complicated system. It
carries blood through
your body. A part that
makes it up is your
heart. There also are
the veins that carry the
blood through your
body. If you eat right
and exercise, the
system will stay healthy!
carries nutrients, water
and oxygen. The blood
and blood vessels are
also part of the system.
The heart is always
working hard. It beats
about 1.5 BILLION
times in an average life!
The circulatory system
is very important!

What IS the Heart?
The heart is what pumps
blood, nutrients, and
oxygen through your body.
Without it you would die!
The heart is a muscle.
Unlike some muscles
though, the heart works all
the time. The heart beats
over 1 billion times in an
average lifetime!
The heart is a cardiac muscle.
It is about the size of your
fist. The rib cage protects
the heart. High cholesterol
can increase the risk of
heart disease. The heart
looks NOTHING like the
so well-known shape we all
know.
