Middle schoolers examine how the movements of bones are dependent on the interaction of pairs of muscles. They design and construct a prototype of an artificial limb using a syringe system, and determine whether water or air makes the...

Third graders identify bones, muscles and joints. They explore and investigate the interaction between bones, muscles and joints, and movement of the hand or foot. To help the teacher provides a poster of the human skeleton.

High schoolers research and develop a weight training program appropriate for an 13-16 year old.

Students answer questions. In this biology lesson, students answer various questions pertaining to biology.

Students use a variety of creative writing tools within this assignment: poems on particular organ systems, write a short story and/or create a word graph. They are involved in a demonstration of lactic build up in the muscles, a...

Pupils investigate the difference between plant and animal cells. They observe a variety o plant and animals cells by looking at a piece of cork, an onion, elodea, prepared slides of paramecium, human bone, frog blood, and human striated...

Students conduct a variety of experiments to explore protein. In this biology lesson, students solve a mystery by testing for the presence of glucose, protein starch and triglycerides. They explain how DNA transcription and translation...

Students investigate the human skeletal system. In this biology lesson, students trace the outline of their body onto butcher paper and fill in the names of the bones. Students use an overhead transparency of the human skeletal system to...

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 design device that will place a cup into a cupboard for a physically challenged person. They study the engineering design and how structure relates to function.

Students explore how scientists determine what prehistoric animals looked like based on their bones. They draw a picture of the skull of a Tyrannosaurus Rex by copying an image from an overhead or book.

Learners examine and discuss what owls eat and how their digestive system works. They dissect owl pellets, identify the bones found, and analyze and record the results.

Seventh graders describe the stages of mitosis. In this biology lesson plan, 7th graders explain the importance of cell division. They complete an activity packet at the end of the lesson plan.

Students explore the evolution of birds. In this biology lesson, students research articles that discuss evidence about the ancestry of birds. They discuss their findings with the group and draw a journal magazine cover highlighting...

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.

Students participate in a science lesson that integrates connections between health issues on Earth and how those issues are related to studies conducted on the International Space Station. T

Students examine minerals as food nutrients and discover their importance as food sources in the diet. Among the learning options are completing worksheets, creating recipes, making billboards, and actually preparing some recipes rich...
