Science Quiz - The Human Body (Questions)

Let's explore our incredible bodies in this KS2 Science quiz! We'll peek inside to discover organs, systems, and other amazing parts of our anatomy.

When we learn how our body works, we're studying its anatomy. Our bodies are made of cells that come together to form tissues, and tissues create different organs. Imagine not having organs—can you think without your brain or breathe without your lungs? Organs team up in systems like our digestive system, which includes the mouth, stomach, and intestines. Try eating an apple without them!

Our bodies are mysterious. How much do you know about what happens inside? Test your anatomy knowledge with this fun KS2 Science Human Body quiz!
