Students examine organisms that are composed of tissues, organs, and systems. They dissect a fetal pig and explore the assigned organs systems such as the skeletal, muscular, and circulatory organs. Students identify and explain their...

Students investigate the body. In this biology lesson plan, students will learn the basics of the bones in their body and about how they can be injured. Students will participate in a total of seven activities designed to improve their...

Students collect and graph data and use the internet to research the skeletal muscles.

Students examine and compare traits of humans and crocodiles.  In this crocodile instructional activity students use a ratio to estimate the height of a person and compare that to a crocodile. 

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...

Students examine the different body systems and how they are interdependent on each other.  In this body systems lesson students draw the body and its parts. 

Young scholars, during this twelve week series of lessons, learn basic anatomy through life sketches of human skeletons and shells. They learn fundamentals of line and convey life through sketches learning science through art.

Learners explore early hominid evolution as they analyze bones that share characteristics of both apes and humans. Students compare and contrast key skeletal differences between chimpanzees and humans. In groups, they sort and group a...

Seventh graders explore skeletal biology. Through a discussion and video observation, 7th graders investigate how the anatomy is adapted to the environment. Students study primates and explore their characteristics and behaviors.

Students study the five major body system in this unit. They examine how to keep themselves healthy.

High schoolers discover how muscles work. In this biology lesson, students explain the causes of fatigue and muscle soreness. They create graphs and compare results with their classmate.

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 construct ratios using the hand as data. They use examples of cortical and trabecular bone found in the long bones to measure circumference, diameter, length, and weight of long bones. They perform computations using growth...
