Here's What's Covered:
This unit opens the door to understanding two of the body’s most important systems—the circulatory system and the lymphatic system—through hands-on exploration and beautiful visuals.
Your child will discover how the heart works like a tireless pump, sending blood through an intricate network of arteries and veins. They’ll learn about the different parts of blood—like the oxygen-carrying red blood cells and the infection-fighting white blood cells—and what each one does to keep the body healthy.
They’ll learn how the lymphatic system cleans waste from the body, all without a pump, making an interesting compare and contrast study over the course of the unit.
They’ll follow the journey of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, and understand how blood also picks up waste and carries it away. Along the way, they’ll explore the lymphatic system, which works quietly behind the scenes to help the immune system function and keep the body in balance.
By the end of this unit, your child will see how all the body’s systems are connected—and why taking care of our health is a full-body effort. Whether they’re tracing a diagram, building a model, or calculating their own heart rate, they’ll gain a deep appreciation for the systems that keep us alive and well.
Perfect for homeschool families who want to combine science, art, and hands-on learning, this Circulatory & Lymphatic Systems unit includes age-appropriate notebooks, a teacher’s guide, printable anatomy cards and posters, and a complete 20-day lesson schedule designed to work across multiple age groups.
