I will admit that science is my weakness as a teacher, but that has meant that I've had to learn the information myself and then figure out how to communicate it to students. A few years ago, our standards changed and Human Body Systems became part of our science curriculum.
I created a Human Body Systems Research booklet where students access different resources (some to begin with listed and linked in the download) to complete research pages on each of six body systems required by NC Standards (digestive system, circulatory system, nervous system, respiratory system, muscular system, skeletal system).
Students complete graphic organizers and focus on the form and function of the different parts of each system. They research ways to keep the body systems healthy and some diseases and ailments that may affect that body system. The graphic organizers stay fairly consistent so that students can focus on researching and recording info rather than answering a ton of different questions.

Print-and-go has really become a teacher-resource buzz word, but I truly think this one is ready to print and teach! Get a few hands-on science materials together--like a fun-noodle to represent the spine, and you are well on your way to making science fun, and engaging while also helping students access content through research!
