Students discuss the nervous system and its pathology. They are then able to explain what neural physiology is. They use this game to further help them to develop clear meaning of the nervous system.

Students identify structures of the brain, and neurons and analyze their functions.  In this nervous system instructional activity students create drawings and models of anatomy.

Students recognize that body design affects balance. They investigate the basic structure of a dinosaur body to see how it achieved balance, then build any dinosaur body system they want, using small marshmallows and extra straws as needed.

Third graders investigate the three main types of joints in their arms and legs that are in charge of movement.  In this human biology activity, 3rd graders view x-rays online to see how different joints look, participate in...

Students study bone size, structure and shape. They use various geometrical shapes to make a skeleton and produce a poster depicting the skeletal system and its functions. They arrange the pictures into the five sections, glue on...

In this body systems worksheet, students will complete a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting arteries and veins as they relate to the circulatory and respiratory systems.

Students explore human anatomy by defining vocabulary terms. In this human heart lesson, students research the components of the respiratory system and complete handouts based on the role of the heart. Students define a list of heart...

Students investigate the functions of different body systems. They conduct research about the major body systems to attain information. The teacher prepares the room for the lesson. Students walk and talk through each major system as...

Pupils explore various parts of the heart and blood vessels . They begin with an overview of the components of the cardiovascular system. They see a cross section of an artery and watch how a blood clot develops.

Students explore the cardiovascular system. In this human body activity, students observe blood flow and study cardiovascular diseases and how they affect the human body system.

Students determine how beliefs about body size and shape are shaped. They develop ideas about the acceptance of self and others with regard to body size and appearance by working in small groups. They view and discuss a PowerPoint...

Students view images and write responses based on their impressions. In this body image lesson, students brainstorm how body image is influenced culturally and participate in a small group discussion on these influences. Students view...

In this interactive human biology worksheet, students view an illustration of the digestive system and drag the 12 appropriate parts of the digestive system to the correct boxes.

Take your class' understanding of cells to the next level... or levels! Demonstrate the levels of organization using a variety of engaging methods. The teacher's guide includes the materials you'll need to execute a flower...

Middle and high schoolers solve a riddle about the appendix, and explore the paradox surrounding this organ. They research other human body organs to create a paper model of the human body, and write riddles highlighting identifying...

Digital compass alignment enables navigation of the skies with true orientation at any time. Just point to the sky or "aim for the stars!" This application acts as a virtual telescope, allowing you to zoom in on any object that is...

Human body systems students play a card game, "Locks & Keys" in order to learn that neurotransmitters carry a message from one neuron to another by fitting into a receptor site on the receiving nerve cell. While this activity can...

Students explore biology by completing a human body worksheet. For this human brain lesson, students identify the different anatomy within the brain and the functions those pieces form. Students read an article about signals in the brain...

Students gain a greater comprehension of the anatomy and physiology of the muscular system, the skeletal system and connective tissue by researching joints in the body. They also reflect on the effects of injuries on their joints and...

Students understand how their food moves through the digestive system. In this digestion lesson plan, students measure the length of the digestive system from a projection of it. Students draw their own pictures of the digestive system.

Young scholars name the vessels and parts of the heart. They trace the path of blood through the heart. Students examine the function of the circulatory system. They recognize the differences between a hear when the body is at rest...

Students explore asthma.  In this respiratory system and asthma lesson, students identify the body parts related to the respiratory system and explain each part's function. Students construct a 3-D replica of the respiratory system...

Students conduct Internet research on the different parts of the skeletal system. Then they create a model arm that demonstrates how muscle and bone work together to create movement.

Students explore the human brain and nervous system. In this brain awareness lesson, students examine specific terms with regards to the human brain. Students discover the brain's structure and function and how it functions as the body's...
