Young scholars examine an effect of zero gravity on the human body using a baby food jar, balloons and a jar with a large mouth.

Students learn three different types of muscles. By building a model of the arm, they learn its basic anatomy and how muscles function in relationship to bones. They perform an experiment on the relationship between muscle size and...

For this muscular system worksheet, students define related terms of the muscular system, they identify types of muscles, they order the events of muscle contraction and given a clue about structures and function of the muscular system...

Students identify the different parts of the skeletal system. In this biology lesson, students put together a skeleton using an interactive website. They evaluate the accuracy of their own answers.

Seventh graders explore the functions of the skeletal system. They collaborate in small groups to determine the function of the skeletal system, the types of joints and movement, bone strength and growth, and bone injuries including...

In this human tissue instructional activity, students read about the 4 different tissue types in the body. Students read 4 pages about the types.

  Pupils discuss the need for humans to have a skeletal system and what would happen if we did not have bones.  For this skeletal system lesson, students label each bone in the human skeletal system as a group, and then examine...

For this muscle and skeletal system worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given clues to terms related to muscles, joints, bones and connective tissue.

Students cool down from physical activity and to reinforce the location of bones.

Students explore the muscular system to examine the different types of muscles in our bodies and how they work with other body systems. They discover how muscles help us chew food and laugh. Videos are used as part of this lesson plan.

Students identify human muscles and bones from a cardboard skeleton, named "Mr. Skelly." Using dialog balloons as props, the teacher holds up advice from Mr. Skelly, such as noting he drinks milk to keep his bones strong. The lesson...

Young scholars measure the lengths of their bodies and various body parts to determine the relationship (or lack of one) between body part length and the length of the entire body. A spreadsheet program is suggested for data collection.
