6 Human Body Systems Worksheets Special Education Middle School Health Curriculum

The Human Body Activities for Special Education includes 6 major body systems:

• Cardiovascular System
• Respiratory System
• Digestive System
• Muscular System
• Skeletal System
• Nervous System

These human body activities contain 15 weeks of instruction specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism, who are in middle and high school learning human anatomy and physiology.

These units address these 6 human body systems in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material.

Students have many opportunities to engage in repeated information on these systems. This repetition encourages a true understanding of what these systems do.

In addition, many of the human body activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

*****These units contain both printable and digital versions of the activities*****

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities experience material over several days to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students pay more attention to the content you present rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions, it will push them to think more deeply than before.
