Learning Outcomes
Students will learn the structure, function and terminology pertaining to central body systems. They will learn where the organs are located and know how the function of body systems maintains health. The studies will help them understand aging and the changes brought on by old age. Students will also study the role of microbes in health and pathology and gain a foundation for the study of infectious diseases, their treatment and asepsis in elderly care.

Assessment Criteria
Grade 5
Students are familiar with the structure, function and terminology of central body systems and understand their role in the human organism. Students are able to locate organs in the body and apply their knowledge to identify structural-functional disorders.
Grade 3
Students are mostly familiar with the structure, function and terminology of central body systems and understand to some extent their role in the human organism. Students are able to locate organs in the body.
Grade 1
Students know to a limited degree the structure, function and terminology of central body systems. They are uncertain about the role of these systems in the human organism. Students are only able to locate some organs in the body.
Assessment Methods
- Active classroom participation
- Independent study
- Examination and (terminology) tests
