We will try to cover major body systems except the reproductive system but the schedule is tentative. I want to make sure we leave time to focus on things the students really enjoy. I will leave a post for each system we cover with ideas for at home projects, book suggestions, or coloring/worksheets. Please especially make note of all items in red.
