blood?
• What happens to blood after it
leaves the heart? (Let’s find
out!)

11. The Heart

Let’s Watch!
• Does blood travel inside the
heart through one pathway, a
few pathways, or many
pathways?
Let’s Check!
• When blood leaves the

Let’s Check!

12. The

GETTING FOOD AND
REMOVING WASTE

with a digestive
system.

16. Pancreas
The Pancreas

What are the
purpose of
kidneys?

20. Bladder
Why is the
bladder an
important
organ?

CONTROLLING THE HUMAN
BODY

22. The Brain
• When I pick up a pencil,
where in my body do I decide to
do it?
• How did the message to bend
over and pick it up travel to my
arms and legs?
• What kinds of messages
might begin and end inside the
brain?
• Why is it important for parts
of the brain to keep working
