Science Nspired - Life Science - Human Body by Texas Instruments

Life Science

The study of the human body gives us a better understanding of the structures of the body and how they work. It is important to remember that organ systems don't exist simply as isolated organs. In this unit, students will explore how each system depends on the others, either directly or indirectly, to keep the body functioning normally.
