Young scholars investigate lever systems in the human body and compare arm anatomy to model.  In this human levers lesson plan students graph and analyze their results.

Different types of teeth have different roles. Third graders study how molars, incisors, and canines function in a rabbit skull and a cat skull. After answering some questions about the teeth of herbivores and carnivores, kids...

For this biology worksheet, students find the words that are related to the concept of the human body and the answers are found at the bottom of the page.

Students study the skeleton. In this human body lesson, students draw and label bones in the body by tracing each other and creating a skeleton out of body parts and brass fastners.

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...

In this body movement worksheet, students draw a chain diagram that describes the process of moving a part of the body, including the bones, muscles, joints, and the nervous system.

Students research the skeletal system. In this anatomy lesson, students measure their bodies to find the approximate length of their bones. They draw and cut out each of the bones and then attach them using brads or glue. 

Convey the structure and function of muscles to your class with this PowerPoint. It explains how muscles are composed of bundles of cells and fibers, that there are three muscle types, and that contraction is either voluntary or...

Learners investigate the human skeletal system. In this biology lesson plan, students trace the outline of their body onto butcher paper and fill in the names of the bones. Learners use an overhead transparency of the human skeletal...

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

In this body parts word search puzzle worksheet, student will find and circle 45 words or phrases that name human anatomy. Words include skull and joints.

Learners 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...

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

In this skeletal system instructional activity, students answer 16 questions about the functions of the skeletal system, the groups of bones that make up the skeletal system, the parts of the bones, the joints, the components of the...

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 instructional...

Students build a model of a human arm and shoulder.

How do muscles move bones? Find out using a built-in-class model. Pupils construct a hand model with paper and string, then follow a series of directions to explore the movement process. Discover additional information about the muscular...

In this musculoskeletal system learning exercise, students review the function of bones and muscles in this body system. Students also review the different types of muscles: smooth, skeletal, and cardiac. This learning exercise has 10...

Students examine how muscles can work together with joints.  In this movement lesson students use a marionette to observe how muscles work. 

In this human body worksheet, learners will review 5 terms associated with the skin by filling in the blank. Then students will read 14 statements about the human skeleton and muscles and determine if its true or false.

Students examine the range of motion of your knee, wrist and shoulder and observe that these body parts act like different types of mechanical joints.

In this biology instructional activity, 9th graders label the different illustrations of movable joints. Then they describe the pivot, ball-and-socket, hinge, and gliding joints in detail. Students also list the five major functions of...

Students explain the benefits of cyborg augmentation. In this technology lesson, students research how the nervous system works. They create posters and present them to class.

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders define striated and identify if the muscles of chicken's leg are striated or smooth. Then they determine how the muscles of a chicken leg are attached to the bones. Students also cut muscles away...
