Learners 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 explore the human body by conducting an exercise in class. In this human anatomy lesson, students view a diagram of the human body and identify the specific bones and joints that allow us to perform specific exercises like...

Third graders investigate the three main types of joints in their arms and legs that are in charge of movement.  In this human biology lesson, 3rd graders view x-rays online to see how different joints look, participate in exercises...

Young scholars identify the features of a prosthetic limb and explain how engineers are involved in the prosthetic design.  For this bone engineering lesson students describe the design criteria that goes into choosing the materials...

Students use the body as a sensory laboratory to explore their five senses, heartbeat, bones, and even size. In this early childhood science instructional activity, students build science and critical thinking skills as they take part in...

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...

Students explore the relationship between their skeletal and muscular systems, resulting in ability to name and compare types of joints and ability to demonstrate how muscles move bones.

Middle schoolers investigate lever systems in the human body and compare arm anatomy to model.  For this human levers lesson students graph and analyze their results.

Students work with a partner to brainstorm a list of as many human body parts as possible. Using that list, they circle any one of those that are bones. They are shown a model of the human skeleton and practice locating various bones. ...

Third graders are introduced to the human skeletal system. Using play-doh, they discover what happens to the bones of the body as a person moves and how broken bones heal. After reading examples, they examine the different types of...

Students examine how muscles can work together with joints.  In this movement lesson students use a marionette to observe how muscles work. 

Third graders are introduced to bones as the body's means of support and protection. They research bone facts and conduct an experiment with chicken bones. They identify and observe involuntary muscles at work.

Seventh graders investigate the strength of the muscular system. They explore voluntary and involuntary muscle movement and discuss the types of muscles: cardiac or heart, skeletal, and smooth. They visit stations to answer questions...

Students identify bones off a skeleton during quizzes; assemble disarticulated skeletons; bird, frog and rat. They dissect frogs, remove the muscle tissue, and identify of bones.

Fifth graders identify and describe the functions of the major body systems. They discover how to maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and exercise. They answer comprehension questions to end the instructional activity.

Students explore technology by completing a worksheet in class. In this common machinery instructional activity, students define the different designs that make simple machines work such as wheels, pulleys and gears. Students utilize...

Students discuss the many different types of animal signs that can be used to identify and track animals. They participate in an hands-on activity in which they examine tracks, trails, homes, territory markings, and even "scat" left by...
