Common questions

What do Year 8 students learn about the human body?

Body systems, organs, health and the senses. At Year 8, our resources focus on: describing the path of food through the digestive system; distinguishing mechanical from chemical digestion; describing what the main digestive enzymes do; describing the path of air through the respiratory system.

Where should we start?

Read the study guide first, then start with the Level 1 or Level 2 worksheet. Finish with the topic test.

Are answers included?

Yes — every worksheet has an answer sheet. Maths answer sheets show the working; English tasks include model answers or success criteria.

How to use these resources

  1. Read the short explanation together before starting the questions.
  2. Where a worksheet suggests a simple experiment at home, try it: seeing beats reading.
  3. Ask "How do you know?" so answers are backed by evidence.
  4. Use the answer sheet to talk about why an answer is right, not just whether it is.
