A complete unit of work on the human body
designed for Grades 3 to 6.

Journey inside the human body!
Simulate the "gross" reality of digestion, build pumping heart models, test your own senses to see how your brain interprets the world & more. Master the cardiopulmonary, skeletal, and sensory systems through hands-on activities
that reveals the incredible science keeping us alive.

Everything you need for a month of science, 
in one download.

Expert-Led Teaching
Led by Ben Newsome 
(Churchill Fellow & Multi-Award Winning Educator).
It’s like having a guest scientist co-teach your class.  

Take your students on a tour of their own biology. 
Break down the cardiopulmonary system, the digestive tract, and the nervous system into understandable lessons. 
It’s a comprehensive look at how our body systems 
work together to power the human machine.

Low-Prep, High-Impact
9 experiments using "pantry items" and classroom staples 
like balloons, straws, raspberry jubes, marshmallows, bananas, and plastic bottles.
No expensive kits required.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE WOW

Testing Variables,
Not Just "Busy Work".

Science isn't just about the "wow" factor.

In every session, we help students master

Variable Testing

—the ability to isolate a single change to see what actually happens.

What Your Students Will Discover

The Pumping Heart Model
Model how the circulatory system moves blood.
Students build a functional model using straws and balloons to visualise how heart valves ensure blood flows in the right direction.

The Tasty Blood Lab
Deconstruct the components of our "life force."
Using raspberry jubes for red blood cells and marshmallows for white blood cells, students create a delicious model
to learn about blood cells, plasma and platelets.

Lung Capacity Challenge
How do we breathe?
Students build a working lung model from a plastic bottle and balloons to demonstrate the physical mechanics
of the diaphragm and respiratory expansion.

Handy Movement & Tendons
Explore the muscular-skeletal connection.
Students build a mechanical "hand" to see how tendons pull on bones to create movement & understandhow we move.

Blind Spots & Sensory Science
Test the limits of the human eye and brain.
Students participate in interactive sensory tests to discover their own optical blind spots and how the brain interprets taste and touch.

The Banana DNA Extraction
Go down to the molecular level!
Students learn the basics of genetics
by extracting real DNA from a banana
using simple household detergents and salt.

How to adapt this unit for your specific classroom

Foundation – Year 2

Early Years

Focus on visual discovery and tactile play. Use the high-definition videos as a "hook" for group discussion and utilise the simplified colouring and labelling sheets for fine motor skill development.

  • ✔ Sensory-led exploration
  • ✔ Guided class demonstrations
Years 3 – 4

Middle Primary

Shift toward independent investigation. Students can engage with the interactive quizzes and begin using experiment templates to record basic observations and fair test variables.

  • ✔ Independent recording
  • ✔ Introduction to fair testing
Years 5 – 6

Upper Primary

Emphasis on data analysis and scientific inquiry. Use the comprehensive marking rubrics and advanced project ideas to challenge students to evaluate their results and justify their conclusions.

  • ✔ Complex variable control
  • ✔ Evidence-based conclusions

Teacher Note: All levels are included in your single school-year licence. This allows you to differentiate learning for different ability groups within the same classroom.

Globally Mapped. Locally Relevant.
