Basic Body Needs
Science · The Human Body · conceptual
Know that the body needs food for energy, water to stay hydrated, sleep to rest and grow, and exercise to keep muscles and the heart strong — and that these are basic needs every human body has
What mastery looks like
- List the four basic needs: food (energy), water (hydration), sleep (rest and growth), exercise (strength)
- Explain that food gives the body energy to move, think, and grow
- Describe what happens if one need isn't met (e.g. feeling tired without sleep, thirsty without water)
Check your understanding
