Biology lab technicians take a cheese sandwich apart as a demonstration of digestion. They record appearance and mass both before and after the process, which mimics chewing, acid action, and churning. Learners write their own lab...

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

Students study the human digestive system in order for the students to relate common kitchen items to the function of specific digestive organs. They list major organs on one side and find the item or appliance most analogous to the...

Students demonstrate how digestion occurs. In this biology lesson, students compare the mass of sandwiches before and after addition of HCl. They collect data and formulate conclusion based on experimental results.

Students are introduced to how the digestive system works in their body. In groups, they discover they need energy and water to live a healthy life. They discover how the body repairs itself and how it grows. They also examine how...

Cells of different organs have unique cell functions. Learn how cell functions vary depending on their roles in the body using an inquiry-based activity. Scholars analyze the cell structure to make comparisons to its functions, allowing...

Students create a model of the digestive system. In this human anatomy lesson the students examine features of the digestive system. The students perform an experiment.

Seventh graders trace a piece of food through the digestive system. They describe the functions of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, etc.

Students discuss the functioning of the digestive system and the specific enzymes present. They observe the action of amylase on starch to identify characteristics of enzymes then perform an experiment on the effects of temperature on...

Students get an understanding of the main components of the digestive system and how the system takes the food we eat and converts it into energy.

Students explore what happens to the food they eat as it passes through their body. They demonstrate their understanding of the digestive system functions by choosing to create a poster, build a model, produce a multimedia presentation,...

Middle schoolers study the human digestion system and the functions of the stomach and small intestines.  In this digestion lesson students view a demonstration on the process. 

Sixth graders use the Internet to examine the human digestive system. Using a diagram, they identify and explain the functions of each organ involved in the digestion process. They complete an online activity as well to end the...

Examine the systems of the human body with a bold, charming, and kid-friendly application. This noteworthy tool is certain to get kids interested what goes on inside of them! The eye feature uses the tablet camera to view images and show...

Learners look at the functions of the body. In this biology lesson plan, students explore the functioning of some body part and construct a "living doll" composed of the body parts discussed.

Students explore digestion. In this Human Body lesson plan, students participate in six different activities pertaining to the Digestive System. Students gain understanding of digestion through experimentation and investigation. Students...

An educational lesson focuses on the idea of conservation of matter through a demonstration of the water cycle, a discussion of digesting food, and the path of carbon and oxygen atoms as they change form. 

The Crusades sounds like a glamorous time period in the Middle Ages full of glory—but was it? Scholars find and review the truth of the Crusades' influence on the world through the resource. The study guides, separated individually by...

Young scholars describe the digestive system and simulate what happens to food as it passes through. They use an apple, tubing and hydrochloric acid to simulate the digestive process.

Students investigate the nervous system.  In this anatomy lesson plan, 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 inquire about human anatomy by completing a worksheet. In this body systems lesson, students discuss the importance of a self-regulating body and how the skeletal, muscular, respiratory and digestive system all take care of...

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...
