6th grade human body systems videos

Grades 6–7 (ages 11–13) · 28 videos · Checked and refreshed daily

Quick answer

This 6th grade body systems playlist (ages 11–12) covers how cells form tissues and organs, then the digestive, circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems, with Amoeba Sisters, TED-Ed's "How your digestive system works" and FuseSchool. Play all on repeat as a review, or loop one system until each organ's job makes sense.

What should a 6th grader know about body systems?

In 6th grade, students learn that the body is built from cells, tissues and organs working in systems. By the end of the unit they can explain how food is digested, how blood carries oxygen, how lungs exchange gases and how nerves send signals. Grade levels vary by country and school.

How does an A–B loop help with the path of blood through the heart?

Set an A–B loop on the part of Amoeba Sisters' circulatory system video that traces blood through the four chambers. Watching that one stretch three or four times, slowed to 0.75× if needed, makes the order of atria, ventricles, lungs and body much easier to draw from memory.

Frequently asked questions

In what order are the body systems covered?

The playlist opens with an overview of body systems and levels of organization, then moves through digestion, circulation, breathing and the nervous system. It ends with the skeleton, homeostasis and an Amoeba Sisters review, so the last videos work as a recap before a test.

Can I save sections of a long lesson for later?

Yes. Save an A–B section for each part, such as the stomach or the small intestine, and it is stored on the number keys 1–9. A student can jump straight back to it, and Stop after N loops keeps each review session short.

Are these videos from official channels?

Yes. Every video comes from the official Amoeba Sisters, TED-Ed, FuseSchool, Learn Bright, National Geographic, Khan Academy or Generation Genius channel. Videos play in YouTube’s player, so YouTube may show ads.
