Format
1. Students are asked to name key terminology: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems.
2. The human body is introduced as a multi-cellular organism, tracing the path from cells to tissues to organs.
3. Five systems are discussed at length: Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Circulatory, Respiratory
4. Throughout the program, students are challenged to carry out easy physical activities to demonstrate anatomical functions.
5. Questions are invited throughout the program.
