Well, we all know that the human body is the most complex creation nature has made. But it's also the most exciting thing to learn about!
When my boy Dhruv came home 2 weeks back saying 'The topic we started in school today is Organ Systems' , I was pretty excited !
Though there are 11 organ systems in our body, a third grader is introduced to 8 of them and they are all introductory of course!
I found a lot of interesting and cute videos on youtube on the different organ systems and thought I must collect them together in this post.
I also made a bunch of worksheets to reinforce the topics.
Skeletal System
After explaining the skeletal system, I did a small cut and paste worksheet with Dhruv followed by additional worksheets on the functions of the skeletal system.
Digestive System
After explaining the concepts, we first did a cut and paste worksheet followed by worksheets on functionality of the digestive system.
Here's a small quiz from Magic School Bus.
All my worksheets on Organ Systems is available in my TPT Product My Body Organ Systems- Worksheets for Grade 3 & 4
A preview is available for download here .

For the digestive system too makemegunius.com has a good video.
Nervous System
This musical video from SchoolHouse Rock is a real fun way of explaining the concept of the nervous system.
Circulatory System
Here's another fun video from SchoolHouse Rock on this topic.
A more educational video on circulatory system is also available but Dhruv prefers the fun one !
Respiratory System
MakeMeGenius.com has a video for the Respiratory System (there is one mistake in the video- it says diaphragm is the largest muscle).
Of course, I made worksheets here as well.
To wrap up all the 11 organ systems there's an overview video by the Amoeba Sisters that I found useful.
