Hello Class 5-123,

This is our personal class science blog to research and share information you found about how the human body works! 

Our new unit is Food and Nutrition.

From K-5 Science Scope and Sequence 

LE5.3a- Humans need a variety of healthy foods, exercise, and rest in order to grow and maintain good health.
LE5.3b- good health habits include hand washing and personal cleanliness; avoiding harmful substances (including alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs); eating a balanced diet; engaging in regular exercise. 

The question we will answer in the coming week is: 

How does nutrition and exercise affect our health? 

But first we must know how the human body works!
