Mya is explaining to Abby and Analeah how the human body works. She asks, 'Which BEST describes the circulatory system?'

• It protects the major organs of the body.

• It breaks food into nutrients for the body.

• It sends messages to the brain to protect the body.

• It transports oxygen-rich blood throughout the body.

During a school sports day, Naveah, Elias and Sandra noticed that after running, their breathing rates increased. Which BEST explains the effects of this exercise on their respiratory system?

• Exercise increases breathing rate which makes the lungs stronger.

• Exercise increases breathing rate which makes the bones stronger.

• Exercise decreases breathing rate which sends more oxygen to the brain.

• Exercise decreases breathing rate which produces more wastes for the kidneys to process.

Skylar, Mar and Giselle are learning about human anatomy and are curious about how nutrients from the food we eat are distributed throughout the body. Which two human body systems work closely together to perform this function?

• muscular and skeletal

• digestive and circulatory

• circulatory and respiratory

• skeletal and digestive

Daniel, Agnes and Ali are comparing two systems in their science project. They describes one as being responsible for providing oxygen for cells and the other for transporting oxygen to cells. Which of the following BEST compares which systems they are referring to?

• The respiratory system transports oxygen to cells, while the circulatory system provides oxygen for cells.

• The respiratory system provides oxygen for cells, while the circulatory system transports oxygen to cells.

• The respiratory system breaks down food for cell energy, while the circulatory system rids the body of waste.

• The respiratory system rids the body of waste, while the circulatory system breaks down food for cell energy.

Elijah, Alyssa and Selah are learning about the human body in their science class. Mr. Chavez (the most prolific 6th Grade Science teacher @ SRA) asks, 'Which system in our body is responsible for creating red blood cells?'

• skeletal

• muscular

• nervous

• circulatory

During the Science Expo, Alex, Jax and Emma built a model to demonstrate how a particular body system sends electrical signals to all other body systems. Which body system is their model likely to represent?

• circulatory system

• digestive system

• muscular system

• nervous system

During the Turkey Trot relay race, Santi notices that his teammates Ezra, Parker, Parker and Isley are breathing heavily after their sprints. Which BEST explains how their muscular systems rely on their respiratory system during the race?

• The respiratory system cools Noah's muscular system.

• The respiratory system acts as the support system for Noah's muscular system.

• The respiratory system brings oxygen into Noah's body for his muscular system to use.

• The respiratory system brings carbon dioxide into Noah's body for his muscular system to use.

During their FAVORITE class of the day, Mr. Chavez asked Aubrey, Josh, and Payton, 'Which system of the human body would provide the most protection if you were to fall off a bicycle?'.

• skeletal system

• circulatory system

• respiratory system

• muscular system

Anthony, Matt, and Michael were discussing the human body in their FAVORITE class. Which BEST describes the way the digestive and muscular systems are related, based on their discussion?

• Matt suggested that when we swallow food, it is pushed through the esophagus.

• Michael thought that the diaphragm, located above the intestines, inflates and deflates.

• Anthony believed that nutrients are transported to the bones to help them function.

• They also considered the idea that the heart absorbs oxygen and nutrients from various parts of the body.
