ABSTRACT

This chapter identifies that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection and movement. Humans need the right types and amount of nutrition, and they cannot make their own food. Humans get nutrition from what they eat. The chapter describes scientific procedures and clear instructions that outline the simple equipment required for carrying out each procedure. It provides National Curriculum assessment indicators, and suggestions for adapting each procedure or activity to the special needs and interests of the students.
