SCIENCE: Revision - the human body

Today I was revising the human body.  We decided to do acrostic poems to help remember important facts.

Skeleton
Support, movement and protection
Keeps the body in good shape
Every part is essential
Ligaments hold the bones together at the joints
Even muscles work in pairs, contracting and relaxing
Tendons hold the muscles to the bones
Organs are safe inside
Never break your bones - keep them inside not out!

Blood Vessels


Blood in capillaries
Lets food and gasses move in and out
Organ that pumps blood around the body is the HEART
Oxygen is taken from the lungs by the blood
Deviously CO2 is given back
Veins, arteries and capillaries work together
Every heart beat creates a pulse
Seventy beats per minute when resting
Sets the pace for the adult heart
Essential for
Living
So look after it and be careful who you give it to


Teeth

Try to brush all 32 of them 2 x every day to keep Mr Plaque away
Enamel on the outside, dentine on the inside, rooted in the gum
Eat the right foods to prevent tooth decay
Tearing canines, cutting incisors, and grinding molars
Have to work together to get the job of chewing done!

SMILE a lot to show them off!


Exercise

Exercise strengthens the muscles
'Xhilerating', 'xtremely' invigorating
Everyday you should do some.
Really develops the lungs
Co-ordination building
Incentive to use up food
Sleep tight
Every night


Health Risks

Healthy living is vital for a long and prosperous life
Every drug is addictive and damages your brain
Alcohol harms your
Liver
Tobacco contains addictive nicotine
Heart attacks are a
Risk
Ingesting alcohol can slow your reactions
Smoking causes lung cancer
Kids should be careful not to do these things
Stay healthy, keep clear of dangerous habits!

Remember why things are good or bad for you.

Maths Revision

Today I am doing revision on calculating temperature changes on a thermometer.

Basically its a vertical number line used to work out the sum of negative and positive numbers.

Its useful to see how one can use maths in real life for working out things like thermometers and temperature changes.

Enjoy revising!

Revision on a regular basis cements knowledge into your memory banks. The more often you go over something the more likely you are to become an expert. If you become and expert, then it'll be a great help to your friends, who might be struggling with a certain topic.

If they are not your friends then you could charge them a small fee to help them with their science knowledge
