Upper Key Stage 2 Human Biology (Jan. 2026)

Important Note

This PX Classroom will only take place if a sufficient number of students reserve a place. To reserve a place, submit your order for this course as if you were going to buy it, but select 'Direct Bank Transfer' (not card payment) and only transfer the money much later once the Teacher has confirmed to you that the course will indeed take place (Do not create a new order in order to pay as that will purchase a second place on the course!). If the course does not run, there will be nothing to pay and your order will simply be cancelled.

Course Overview

This course is ideal for children in upper Key Stage 2 (ages 9 to 11) who would like to learn Science in a group with a focus on understanding more how the human body works. This would be a useful introduction to Science for children who plan to enter any of the PX KS3 Science Classrooms, not just the PX KS3 Biology Classroom.

Course Method

The lessons include slides, short relevant video clips (e.g. the heart beating), and interactive sessions. These interactive sessions include bringing foods to show the group in the food session; showing baby photos in the session on babies & growing up, and learning how to take a pulse in the blood vessel lesson. The focus is on learning about the healthy human body. Homework is set which often involves making models of the relevant system of the body.

Course Details

This one-term course comprises 10 weekly lessons. Each lesson lasts 30 minutes.

This PX Classroom is held on Mondays at 11am (London time zone), starting from Monday, 12th January 2026. There will be no lesson on 20th February due to half term. The last lesson is due to be on Monday 23rd March 2026.
