About these posters
KS1 names body parts and what they do, and the main organs inside us. KS2 covers the skeleton, joints and muscles, plus the journey of food through the digestive system. KS3-4 sets out the main body systems and the jobs of the major organs in short, exam-style definitions. They work well next to a model or textbook diagram, or as revision prompts. Download as A4 and A3 PDFs.
Questions
Do the posters include anatomical diagrams?
No. They use labelled facts, key terms and simple icons, so use them beside a diagram or model when pupils need to see where each part sits.
What level are they written for?
KS1 and KS2 follow the National Curriculum science topics. KS3-4 is at the level of GCSE biology and combined science.
Can I use them for revision?
Yes, as a quick recap of terms. Check them against your exam board's specification for the detail you need.
Is there a black and white version?
The KS1 organs poster has an ink-light copy. The rest print clearly in greyscale.
