1Question

Name two body systems that help the human body move.

2Question

A computer scientist wants to make a simple model of the human body. Which body part could be shown as the 'control center' for the body, and why?

3Question

Match each computer science idea to a human body part or system: input, output, and processing.

4Question

Imagine you are programming a fitness app for kids. List one sensor or source of information the app could use, and explain how it could help the app track body activity.

5Question

A student says the human body works like a computer network. Write a short explanation of how messages move in the body and compare that to how information moves in a computer system.

Answer Key

#	Answer
1	The skeletal system and the muscular system.
2	The brain, because it controls many body actions and helps send messages through the body.
3	Input = senses such as eyes or ears; Output = muscles or speech; Processing = brain.
4	The app could use a heart-rate sensor to measure how fast the heart is beating. This helps the app track exercise activity and effort.
5	Messages in the body travel through nerves from the brain to other body parts, like signals moving through wires or networks in a computer. Both systems send information from one place to another so different parts can work together.
