Seventh graders explore the functions of the skeletal system. They collaborate in small groups to determine the function of the skeletal system, the types of joints and movement, bone strength and growth, and bone injuries including...

Students explore human anatomy by creating a science book in class. In this skeletal structure lesson, students identify the different body systems such as muscular, nervous, skeletal, and digestive. Students create a picture book which...

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

Learners 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.

Students identify the components and functions of the skeletal system. They identify and interpret that the skeletal system is the frame for the human body and are evaluated by their behavior and participation throughout the lesson.

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

Third graders describe and identify the parts of the skeleton and how they support the body. They observe two chicken bones that have been soaked in vinegar for 5 - 7 days. They observe the bone's appearance after it has been removed...

Young scholars explore the circulatory system. They observe a dissection of a heart and view the path that blood takes through the heart and the circulatory system. Students identify the structures and functions of the heart. They write...

Students identify a food chain sequence. They compare, identify, and record the rodent skeletal parts to a rodent skeletal diagram. Students construct a rodent skeleton from the skeletal parts found in the pellet. They are given the...

Pupils examine human anatomy with a focus on the knee joint. In groups, they research the chemical makeup of human bones and explain the different types of joints found in the body. To end the lesson, they identify the other structures...

Students identify the features of a prosthetic limb and explain how engineers are involved in the prosthetic design.  In this bone engineering activity students describe the design criteria that goes into choosing the materials that...

Students utilize owl pellets to explain part of the natural food chain, and the skeletal system. They construct a rodent skeleton from the skeletal parts foundin the pellet.

Students participate in a series of timed relay races using their skeletal muscles. They compare the movement of skeletal muscle and relate how engineers help astronauts exercise skeletal muscles in space. They list the three types of...

Learners 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.

Students dissect owl pellets, and compare, identify and record rodent skeletal parts. They compare rodent skeletal diagrams to human skeletal diagrams.

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 lesson plan.

Learners examine owl pellets and what their diet consisted of, specifically rodents. This furthers their understanding of simple food chains as well as bone structure and identification.
