Chapter 7: Body Balance
Science Understanding
- Demonstrates reflex actions in the body
- Use flow diagrams to show how body systems are controlled and coordinated by the nervous and endocrine systems
- Use an animation to gain an understanding of negative feedback systems in the body
- explaining how body systems work together to maintain a functioning body using models, flow diagrams or simulations
- describing how the requirements for life (for example oxygen, nutrients, water and removal of waste) are provided through the coordinated function of body systems such as the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, nervous and excretory systems
- Follow instructions to correctly and safely dissect a sheep’s brain and kidney
