Students identify the five senses. In this biology instructional activity, students participate in an experiment and use their five senses to identify various substances.

Pupils explore human anatomy by creating an oral report in class. In this five senses instructional activity, students read several real life situations and identify which of the five senses help in certain situations. Pupils create an...

Students investigate the five senses. In this senses lesson, students explore the nervous system. Students examine how the body receives information through the five senses.

Second graders demonstrate how the human body is made up of different systems whose functions are related. They trace their bodies on butcher block paper and put in at least five of the body systems in the appropriate area of the body.

Students investigate organs, anatomical planes and transverse sections of the human body using gel people. In this human anatomy lesson plan, students use gel molds, gel and food items to make models of the human body. They create a...

Students identify structures of the brain, and neurons and analyze their functions.  In this nervous system lesson students create drawings and models of anatomy.

Using a pulse monitor, learners will measure a resting pulse, take a math test, and then measure the pulse again. They analyze the change in pulse and compare it to performance on the test. This multi-purpose lesson can be used in a...

Sixth graders explore the human body by viewing video clips. In this digestive system instructional activity, 6th graders discuss what they think happens when they swallow food. Students view a Brain Pop clip demonstrating the digestion...

Students explore the human body by completing a graphic organizer. In this living cells lesson, students analyze a human body cell's chart and discuss the parts of a cell and what they do for our bodies. Students complete a graphic...

Young scholars investigate personal health issues by discussing germs.  In this contagious disease lesson plan, students identify ways germs infect our bodies and how we can best protect ourselves.  Young scholars discuss food...

Learners brainstorm a list of potential uses for micro-video technologies. After reading an article, they analyze the development of a new pill-sized camera. In groups, they create a children's book that shows them the various systems of...

Young scholars explore geometry by participating in a measurement activity. In this human anatomy lesson, students identify the appropriate methods to measure human body parts and do so in class. Young scholars create a bar graph from...

Students design a pumping device that will effectively pump fluid through a model "cardiovascular system." They explore the effects of too much and too little pressure on a circulatory system.

Young scholars explore how to use their sense to draw conclusions. In this human biology lesson, students use their senses to observe various objects in learning centers. The centers include tasting salt, touching sandpaper, hearing...

Students examine human anatomy by creating a prosthetic limb.  In this medical engineering instructional activity, students view numerous images of prosthetics used in science today and define several medical terms associated with...

Students are introduced to the five senses and how they are sorted throughout the brain. After reading about each type of mind, they discuss ways in which they can focus on each one on a daily basis. As a class, they discover ways in...

Young scholars record observations and create drawings and models of anatomy using their five senses. They describe the structures of a neuron and analyze each of their functions. They compare and contrast the typical structural...

Upper elementary pupils learn about the blood transportation system and anatomy of the human heart. They fill in an outline of the human heart  (not included) focusing on the flow of blood to and from the heart. Using stethoscopes,...

Students investigate the nervous system.  In this anatomy instructional activity, students identify and define vocabulary related to the nervous system. Students role play the parts of a nervous system and perform an experiment...

Fifth graders study the circulatory system. In this circulatory system, 5th graders participate in five stations with different activities at each station. Students discuss their findings from each station.

Hosting a Healthy Field Day will take a lot of planning and organization, but with a lot of parent participation it can come together very well. The resource describes seven stations of the ten that were presented. Each of these has a...

An all-encompassing, fully interactive, gorgeously animated model of the heart can be used to teach cardiac anatomy, physiology, and even a touch of epidemiology.

Students examine the role of the immune system in the human body. They conduct a hand-washing experiment, answer questions while viewing videos, discuss key vocabulary, draw and label illustrations, and observe demonstrations and record...

Students explore human anatomy by participating in a print experiment. In this human skin lesson, students define the term "epidermis" and utilize computer paper, pencils, tape and baby wipes to create a print of their own skin. Students...
