Young Scientist Anatomy & Physiology Course Overview
This class is part of the MyFunScience live online homeschool science program, which offers live courses for elementary, middle school, and high school students. Families can explore all of our homeschool science courses.
This engaging Young Scientist Anatomy & Physiology homeschool class invites students in grades 4–7 to discover the incredible design of the human body through a live, online learning experience. Designed to spark curiosity and build confidence in science, this course combines interactive lessons, hands-on activities, and simple experiments to help students understand how the body’s systems work together.
Students will explore all major human body systems, including the skeletal, muscular, integumentary, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, lymphatic, and immune systems, along with the senses, nutrition, blood, and basic genetics. The reproductive system is not covered, students are introduced to age-appropriate concepts such as fetal development.
In addition to foundational anatomy knowledge, students will develop essential scientific skills, including conducting experiments, writing basic lab reports, taking organized notes, and studying effectively for tests. This course fosters a sense of wonder, critical thinking, and a lifelong interest in science—making it an ideal introduction to anatomy and physiology for homeschool learners.

Course Reviews
This was my daughter’s first introduction to MyFunScience and it set the bar high. Mrs. Baer is one of the sweetest teachers I’ve ever seen interact with kids—even online. She has a gift for making each student feel heard and valued. Her heart for God is evident in everything she does, and she is an organized, engaging instructor with excellent command of the material. I have no hesitation recommending this class.

My daughter took this class last year and loved it, and now my son is taking it—and my daughter is jealous! Thank you for the wonderful class and the Christian perspective.
— Parent
My daughters (ages 10 and 12) absolutely loved Young Scientist Anatomy & Physiology and Young Scientist Botany with Angie Baer. She makes science come alive even in an online environment. These classes are fun, informative, and inspiring for young learners.
