    This document provides a lesson plan about the integumentary system for grades 3-5. It introduces students to organ systems in general and lists the main organ systems. The lesson then focuses on the integumentary system, explaining that it is the body's first line of defense. It asks students questions about how they sense heat, what keeps dust out of their eyes, and why we sweat. The document defines the main parts of the integumentary system - skin, nails, hair, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands - and their functions, such as protection and temperature regulation. Students are asked to think of additional functions and complete a worksheet to conclude the lesson.

    Skin Lesson Plans: Integumentary System

    Lesson Plans & Worksheets for Grades 3 to 5 / By Kathy Foust / Teaching Grades Pre-K to 5

    Organ Systems

    Before beginning to focus on the Integumentary System, teachers should introduce students to the
    concept of organ systems in general. Explain to students that each of the organ systems work together as
    whole to keep the body functioning, but each organ system has its own specific function. Introduce the
    organ systems as listed below.

    Integumentary System

    Digestive System

    Cardiovascular System

    Lymphatic and Immune System

    Respiratory System

    Urinary System

    Skeletal System

    Muscular System

    Nervous System

    Endocrine System

    Reproductive System

    Explain to students that this back to school science lesson will focus on the integumentary system.

    The Integumentary System

    The Integumentary System is the bodies first line of defense against outside stimuli. Offer this fact to the
    students and ask them to consider what the Integumentary System must include in order for it to
    function this way. Offer the following questions as topics for them to consider.

    How do you know when you touch something hot?


    There is always dust in the air. What keeps this dust from collecting in your eyes?

    How and why do we sweat?

    students discuss these questions, introduce them to the skin as well as the accessory organs which make
    up the Integumentary System.The organs are listed below for your convenience.

    Skin

    Nails

    Hair

    Sweat Glands

    Sebaceous Glands

    Explain some of the functions of each part of the Integumentary System to your students. Ask them to
    come up with some ideas of their own that explain how some part of the system works. Before handing
    out the worksheet included in this skin lesson plan, review some of the functions of the skin and
    accessory organs listed below.

    Skin- Protecting underlying tissues

    Nails- Protective covering

    Hair- external insulation

    Sweat Glands- Cool the body

    Sebaceous glands- Coat the hair with oil

    After discussing the various jobs of the Integumentary System, ask students to complete the worksheet
    included with this lesson plan.
