The Human Body Research Tasks (IPC unit: How Human's Work)

This resource allows children to research various topics linked to the IPC unit: How Humans Work, over a 3 week period.

There are 9 research topics and children will need to research 5 of them over the 3 weeks.
The topics are:

• The Digestive System
• Human and Animal Teeth
• Eyes and Sight
• Ears and Hearing
• Skeletons and Muscles
• Healthy Eating
• Heart and Exercise
• Human Life Cycle
• Smoking and Alcohol

Week 1: The Digestive System (obligatory)
Week 2: Choose any 2 from the purple tasks
Week 3: Choose any 2 from the green tasks.

Children will have choice over the tasks they choose. You can even change the centre (obligatory) task to the one that you mostly want the children to learn about.

Each task includes key questions, ideas for how to record and present tasks, and useful child friendly links to guide children’s research.
