Students discuss the need for humans to have a skeletal system and what would happen if we did not have bones. In this skeletal system lesson, students label each bone in the human skeletal system as a group, and then examine two chicken bones and think about the differences between them.
Students identify and describe the functions of bones in the body. They complete an outline and questionnaire to demonstrate knowledge.
Students identify the different parts of the skeletal system. In this biology instructional activity, students put together a skeleton using an interactive website. They evaluate the accuracy of their own answers.
Fifth graders explore the muscular and skeletal system. In this science lesson, 5th graders discuss bones and view an x-ray. Students participate in exercises and then feel their heart beat and breathing.
Students review the anatomical and common names for various parts of the skeletal system. They are able to open a file, work with the file and save their work to a disk and take home a hard copy of their work for review and study for a more comprehensive test in the future.
First graders examine the five major body systems. They complete a Body Book, construct a paper skeleton, examine x-rays, view demonstrations of muscles, simulate the circulatory system, and conduct an experiment regarding the digestive system.
Students identify the different joints in the skeletal system. In this anatomy lesson, students describe the function of each joints. They draw them and their direction of movement.
For this bones worksheet, students cut out the bones illustrations and put them together to form a human skeleton. Students label the major bones and describe what they do. Students identify 10 major bones.
Students study the body systems and their functions. In this human body lesson students research the Internet on body systems and write a description of them.
Students conduct Internet research on the different parts of the skeletal system. Then they create a model arm that demonstrates how muscle and bone work together to create movement.
