Activities: TTW introduce the next body system to the
class by engaging students in an activity entitled, How Do
Your Ribs Move When You Breathe?” After the activity, the
class will discuss their observations and make inferences.
TTW present and discuss the respiratory system with the

(including circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, nervous, and
musculoskeletal systems) work together to support the essential life
functions of the body.
Activities: We will review and discuss PASS-like test
items. TTW introduce the next body system, Circulatory, to
