Animals, including humans: being human
This resource provides a selection of lesson plans, worksheets and teachers notes relating to animals, including humans at Year Six. They include activities in which children explore the structure of the heart and lungs and learn about the double circulation of blood through the lungs and the rest of the body. Lesson ideas also include investigating how exercise affects pulse rate and finding out why is exercise good for humans. Provided by Hamilton Trust, these sessions have been written in line with the new national curriculum (published in 2013).
The Hamilton website also hosts a wealth of other free resources.
