How can these help with a body systems worksheet?

Set A and B around the part that names the organs, such as the route food takes through the digestive system, and it replays while your child fills in labels. Slow to 0.75x if the narration is quick.

Is Operation Ouch suitable for this age?

Operation Ouch is a CBBC show from the UK, made for primary school children by two doctors. Some episodes include real hospital patients and minor injuries, so preview them if your child is squeamish.
