Learners investigate body systems by participating in a role-play activity. Third, fourth, and fifth graders pretend that they are an organ or system of the human body, and they must write a letter to the body "corporation" discussing...

Explore the human body through hands-on activities. Young learners will trace their bodies and place cut out body organs in the proper place, print patterns using cut fruit, sing songs about good nutrition, and use their five senses...

Students outline a body on butcher paper. Students fill in the circulatory system using materials of various textures. Students decorate all the parts of the circulatory system with art articles, like buttons, yarn, etc.

To truly teach through the arts means one must tackle both art and core content in one lesson. This quick activity does just that. Learners make skeletons out of cotton swabs in order to study relief sculpture and the skeletal system....

Kids consider how the body functions and moves, how each structure has a specific movement and purpose. They apply that idea as they construct a sculptural piece that moves. For inspiration they look to the work of Alexander Calder,...

Students create movements that connect art and science. In this body systems lesson plan, students interpret the function of body systems, organs, and processes as they create movements to exhibit their research findings.

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 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...

Second graders demonstrate how the human body is made up of different systems whose functions are related. They trace their bodies on butcher block paper and put in at least five of the body systems in the appropriate area of the body.

Motivate your class with this lesson. Learners explore the solar system and practice working with fractions using this resource. They construct scale models of our solar system, and use fractions to correctly configure the solar system...

Learners brainstorm a list of potential uses for micro-video technologies. After reading an article, they analyze the development of a new pill-sized camera. In groups, they create a children's book that shows them the various systems of...

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

Students explore the human body by conducting an exercise in class. In this human anatomy lesson, students view a diagram of the human body and identify the specific bones and joints that allow us to perform specific exercises like...

There is more to the solar system than the typical study of the sun and planets. Launch a study of asteroids, meteoroids, and comets by watching the video The Story of the Solar System, available for purchase through this...

Students identify the systems of the human body and their functions. They illustrate the systems to investigate where and how they function in the body. Afterward, they layer these systems to comprehend the depth and dimension of the...

In this human body worksheet, 2nd graders experiment making a full-sized human body portrait. Students discuss the human body organs and their functions. Students follow and complete 8 precise directives in making a human body portrait.

Learners identify the functions of various body parts. They participate in the "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" song, draw a picture of themselves and other mammals, and create a traced outline of their body that they add features to....

Students explore biology by completing an illness worksheet. In this human germs instructional activity, students identify how germs are transferred from one body to another and the prevention methods that can be taken. Students complete...

Students investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body activity, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects through....

This carad activity helps students explore detailed facts and scientific procedures around the human body and its cells. For this stem cell lesson, students utilize different colored flash cards to represent different types of human...

Students explore their five senses. In this human biology lesson, students participate in various learning centers that include activities such as creating a Q-tip skeleton, feeling play dough, creating "goop" and listening to drum beats.

Students explore the human body by reviewing the digestive system. In this human anatomy lesson, students identify the elements of human digestion by completing two body system worksheets. Students read the story What Happens to a...

Students discover human anatomy by dancing with a song in class.  In this human body lesson, students listen to the song "Dem Dry Bones"  and identify the different parts of a paper human skeleton.  Students perform a...

Students explore human anatomy by participating in a print experiment. In this human skin lesson, students define the term "epidermis" and utilize computer paper, pencils, tape and baby wipes to create a print of their own skin. Students...
