The two homeroom teachers both worked in different ways. One teacher preferred to work with one system at a time and have all students exploring that one system. The other teacher got the students to research a range of different body systems in small groups and then work together with that group to create a working demonstration to show their learning.

Human Body Systems Integration with Makerspace
I was so excited to work on a Science collaboration for the Makerspace with Grade 4. I persuaded 2 teachers to try a pilot with me using different technologies to create working body systems. We used Microbits, Ozobots, simple balloon pumps and mixed media to make the body systems come alive.

Both types were rich learning experiences for the students. I made a short Clips video of the different groups creating the body systems and preparing to share their work through a mini exhibition with other classes.
