Curated OER
Body Systems Unit
Second graders complete a unit of lessons on the body systems. They watch the video, Magic Schoolbus Inside the Human Body, trace their bodies and construct the systems on the tracing, simulate the digestive system, and participate in...
Curated OER
The Skeletal System
Young scholars research the skeletal system. In this anatomy lesson, students measure their bodies to find the approximate length of their bones. They draw and cut out each of the bones and then attach them using brads or glue.
Curated OER
MuscleMania
Students learn three different types of muscles. By building a model of the arm, they learn its basic anatomy and how muscles function in relationship to bones. They perform an experiment on the relationship between muscle size and...
Tech Museum of Innovation
Human Body Exhibit
Explore human anatomy and physiology using models. Scholars study systems of the human body and design a display for a museum exhibit. To complete the activity, individuals create analogous models of their chosen human body systems.
Curated OER
Natural Born Robots: Body Builders
Learners perform activities to explore how their arm works and what muscles are involved. They view animated comparisons of human and robotic arms. Students create a model of the human arm.
Curated OER
Jumpy Dolls
Students are challenged to design and construct a jointed figure that moves in a motion something like jumping jacks when a string is pulled.
Curated OER
All About Me
Students examine who they are through the arts and sciences. They create a portfolio entitled, " All About Me."
