If you have implemented this fabulous brain chemistry unit in its entirety, you should have saved the pre-assessment quizzes from day one. In this assignment, individual learners go back over their original answers, and correct any...

What do lab tests reveal about a patient's health? Scholars perform a simulated urinalysis on two different patients by testing color, pH, glucose levels, and protein levels. Then, they compare their findings to what they know passes...

If used as a center activity, this short presentation could be a motivating way for learners to review material relating to plants, the circulatory system, and more. However, there are only nine questions. It would be more useful if...

Fifth graders identify and define parts of the reproductive system. In this health lesson, the teacher introduces the parts of the reproductive system, then students match body part cards to the corresponding definition cards.

Students study the immune system. In this biology lesson plan, students explore illustrations that show how viruses can appear as foreign invaders in the blood. Students also role play how the immune system responds to a virus.

Student discuss the effect of HIV on the immune system. In this human body lesson plan, students research the immune system and how the HIV virus weakens it. They create a bulletin board showing how HIV is transmitted. 

Young scholars participate in four activities that will get them to know each other and the celestial bodies of the solar system. Students take the name of a celestial body. Young scholars stand up one at a time, say their celestial...

Students participate in a class discussion "game" in order to help them determine how to take care of themselves and keep their bodies healthy, as well as develop a healthy, mature attitude.

Students explore the pros and cons of the selling of body parts in this lesson. A discussion of how personal value systems impact science and research is developed.

Students describe the different bodies that make up our solar system, explain the place of our solar system within the Milky Way Galaxy and the universe, explain day and night and the Earth's movement, and describe the relationship...

Students analyze the function of the lungs. In this lesson about the Respiratory System, students explore breathing and the movement of air through the lungs. Students perform an 4 part experiment to observe what it might look like for...

In this Solar System worksheet, students choose categories (ex. size, shape) and fill in the information for 14 bodies in the solar system. These include Mercury, Venus, Earth, Comets, etc.

In this immune system worksheet, students identify and name treatments that are currently available for the AIDS virus. Then they discuss some potential vaccines. Students also describe how new AIDS drugs are tested.

Students identify common landforms and bodies of water from descriptions of distinguishing features. In this landforms and bodies of water lesson plan, students describe the features they see in the pictures given to them.

Sixth graders analyze the components of the respiratory system. In this respiratory system lesson, 6th graders participate in hands on experiments and activities to identify the functions of the major organs of the respiratory system.

Students work in groups of 4-6 for the experiment/activity part of this exercise. Students know that earth is the third planet from the sun in a system that includes the moon, the sun, eight other planets and their moons, and smaller...

In this respiratory system: breathing activity, students read through the given notes. Students then compare the different respiratory systems with that of an earthworm, fish, insect, and frog.

Students examine the solar space program and research what options are the most viable.  In this solar system lesson students view a video on the solar system, research the Internet and make recommendations. 

In this skeletal system worksheet, students label a diagram with the names of 12 bones in the human body. Students label the human skeleton in this online interactive worksheet by dragging the names of the bones to their appropriate boxes.

Students create a picture from the shape of a bone. In this life science and art lesson, students discuss their bones and their purposes, then use a picture of a bone as a starting point for an artistic transformation. Lesson can be used...

Young scholars investigate how animals adapt to use its senses to identify foods that are nutritious or noxious. They determine how they associate foods with other things such as birthdays. They discuss the role of the nervous system in...

For this muscles worksheet, students label 14 major muscles on a diagram of the human body from the back side. Muscles include those of the arms, back, legs and buttocks.
