Body Systems Review

4th graders...today is the day that you will be reviewing the body systems that we have been studying. You will read the articles and watch the videos to learn more about each system. Then you will take the short quiz for each system. The more quizzes you finish the more points you will get for your test grade. When you finish a test with a 70% or better, otherwise you take it over, you will have a teacher check off your score. Go to the next reading and quiz and continue.
