Why could our white blood cell capture the virus then die?
Why do we need small intestine for?
How does the organ crush food?
What are our organs made of?
What kind of systems do we have in our body?
Why do we have blood in our body?
Which part of our body is digestive system?
How do our body systems function properly?
How many body systems do we have?
What part of our body process food?
What is the function of our body organ?
How our body works?
How many bones inside our body?
Why our bones crack?
What is circulatory system?
How can we grow?
Where do our hair and nail come from?

During this unit the students learnt about body organs and human body systems. They did class inquiry based on their interest which was divided by 4 body sytems such as nervous systems, respiratory system, digestive system and muscular and skeletal system.
