Course Accreditation:
This course counts towards 1 science credit
While our courses are not formally accredited, they are designed to align with CCSS and NGSS standards. For homeschooling families, transcripts are typically parent-created documents that list completed coursework. This course is comprehensive and academically rigorous, and can confidently be counted as a full science credit.
Curriculum:
Follows teacher-created curriculum.
Standards:
CCSS (Common Core State Standard) and NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) compliant.
External Resources:
We will be using YouTube videos in this class for animated visuals of the amazing human body.
Parental Guidance:
This class is designed to be hands-off for parents. You’re welcome to sit off-screen and learn alongside your student, but it’s not required.
Homework:
We don’t assign homework in our courses—and that’s by design. One of the major issues we see in the public school system is the overreliance on busywork to measure learning. We believe that real understanding comes from engagement, curiosity, and conversation—not endless assignments.
As a homeschooling parent, you know your child best. That’s why we provide linked materials with each course—so you can use them in your own homeschool classroom as you see fit. Feel free to assign additional work, projects, or review based on your child’s needs and interests. We support flexible, parent-led education that respects your family’s learning style.
Learning Goals
Identify and explain the functions of major body parts and systems, including the skeleton, muscles, heart, lungs, brain, and senses, using visual aids and clear explanations to support understanding.
Understand how body systems interact and work together to maintain overall health and enable movement, breathing, thinking, and sensing, through engaging multimedia presentations and guided discussions.
Recognize the role of healthy habits such as balanced nutrition, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and personal hygiene in supporting the body's growth and well-being, reinforced through examples and stories.
Develop curiosity and critical thinking skills by encouraging students to ask questions, share observations, and reflect on how their own bodies function and change over time.
Participate actively in an interactive online environment through videos, quizzes, storytelling, and group discussions that reinforce key concepts about the human body and foster a sense of connection despite the virtual setting.
