Students explore the human skeleton. In this biology lesson, students view a diagram of the human skeleton and identify the names of bones. Students define the role bones play in protecting the human body and construct a paper skeleton...

Learners explore digestion. In this Human Body lesson plan, students participate in six different activities pertaining to the Digestive System. Learners gain understanding of digestion through experimentation and investigation. Students...

Learners actively act out an aspect of the digestive tract on two parallel strips of tape on the floor 3-4 feet apart and width of classroom which represent the digestive tract.

Students demonstrate how digestion occurs. In this biology instructional activity, students compare the mass of sandwiches before and after addition of HCl. They collect data and formulate conclusion based on experimental results.

Students play an interactive activity and answer questions about body systems.

Students analyze all of the body's major systems. They make diagrams of some of the systems and create their own questions.

In this body organs worksheet, students match body organs with their functions. Students complete 19 matches total on this body organs worksheet.

Fifth graders conduct research on the major organ systems of the human body. They create and present 3D models of a body system, and collect basic first-aid supplies for donation to a third-world community.

Make a Winogradsky Column to discover how microbes live within the digestive tract. First, participants take a tour of the stomach. Then, gather supplies and start building using a variety of materials. Over eight to 10 weeks,...

In this body parts worksheet, students match words to definitions, categorize organs into systems, name functions of organs, and more. Students complete 5 activities.

Students read food labels to compare healthy verses non healthy food and then use diagrams to create a poster of the digestive system. In this food lesson plan, students move the food down the digestive track along the digestive system.

The living environment, from the interior of a cell to the complex relationships among populations, is queried in this final examination. Learners examine air pollution maps, cell diagrams, population graphs, and drawings of cells. They...

Eighth graders are introduced to the workings of the major systems of the Human Body: circulatory, digestive, respiratory, nervous, skeletal, and endocrine Systems. They learn the major organs of the systems and their functions.
