4. Match each system (left) with its main function (right). Draw a line to match.

A. Digestive

B. Skeletal

C. Respiratory

1. Transports blood and nutrients

2. Breaks down food for energy

3. Supports body and protects organs

4. Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide

5. What is the basic unit of life?

✏️ Part 2: Short Answers & Practical

WALT: Explore how cells form tissues and organs, and learn to use a microscope safely and correctly.

6. In one sentence, explain how cells join to form tissues and organs.

7. List two microscope safety rules you must follow in the lab.

8. Practical drawing: Sketch a simple light microscope and label three parts (e.g. eyepiece, objective lens, stage).

9. Extension & Differentiation

Extension (advanced learners): Research one body system and write two ways humans rely on it. Then suggest a simple class demonstration or model to show its function.

Differentiation strategies: Provide labelled diagrams and sentence starters for students who need support; allow oral responses or use a peer buddy; offer extension research tasks for advanced learners and additional time or enlarged images for students with visual needs.
