A Message from ClaudioVisuals

By Claudio Araya

     The “Human Body in Action” is a video series of ten 23 minute videotapes geared for grades 5 to 8 focusing on the human body from cells to systems, including the skeletal and muscular systems, the circulatory and respiratory systems, and much more. Each video features kids having real world  experiences, along with stunning microphotography and clear, colorful graphics. A recurring theme in the series is the hierarchy of the human body; cells, organs, and organ systems. Every program includes an easy-to-replicate, hands-on activity and an interview with an expert in a particular area of science. The series is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Life Science: Structure and Function in Living Systems, Reproduction and Heredity, Regulation and Behavior, and Diversity and Adaptations of Organisms.
