You do not have to include every single element in this section, just choose a few for your student to learn about.
Circle of Life
In the Circle of Life we talk about what happens when a person dies. How the body reacts to the decomposition process and how those elements are recycled back into nature to be used again.
Diseases
The Diseases section will give you an overview of the most common diseases diagnosed for the body system we are working on.

If none of these diseases have affected your family feel free to choose any that seem interesting.
