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 homeschool anatomy and physiology class introduces younger students to the incredible design of the human body. Students participate in a live online anatomy class where they explore body systems through engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and simple experiments.
This anatomy and physiology course is designed for students in grades 4–7 and helps students understand how the body works while developing curiosity, observation skills, and confidence in science.
Young Scientist Anatomy & Physiology invites students to explore the incredible design of the human body. Through engaging lessons, discussions, and hands-on activities, students develop a sense of wonder for how the body works and how its many systems work together.
Students will investigate the major systems of the human body including bones, muscles, joints, the integumentary system, nervous system, endocrine system, the senses, blood, the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic and immune systems, the respiratory system, nutrition, the digestive system, the urinary system, and basic genetics.
This course introduces students to foundational anatomy concepts in an age-appropriate way. The reproductive system is not studied in detail, though basic fetal development is included. Students will also practice scientific skills such as conducting experiments, writing simple lab reports, taking organized notes, and studying for tests.

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.
