Do big bodies make big brains? Let your learners decide whether there is an association between body weight and brain weight by putting the data from different animals into a scatterplot. They can remove any outliers and then make a line...

Every moment, the systems in your body are working together to keep you breathing, standing, and thinking. Elementary schoolers explore the human body and its systems with an impressive, 15-page lesson plan that should leave your...

Seventh graders graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They create a scatterplot. Additionally, they determine the line of best fit and investigate the slope of the line. Multiple resources are provided. An excellent resource!

Young scholars explore how the brain works. In this nervous system instructional activity, students create a network of "neurons" to simulate how the nervous system and the brain work together.

This is a well-designed, creative lesson to help learners learn more about the human memory. Working in pairs, students complete tasks and gather data. Excellent websites for resources are also provided.

Students estimate how many peas fit in a container. In this science lesson, students calculate the weight of a pea and record it. They use this data to calculate how many peas fit in a human brain.

Young scholars explore the senses. In this Applied Science lesson, students investigate the items in "feely" boxes with their hands, both touching the items and shaking the boxes to hear the sound the items make. Young scholars also...

Students investigate color diversity by experimenting with jelly beans.  In this color spectrum lesson, students observe colored jelly beans through different filters and light sources to change the existing look of the bean....

Students explore human senses. In this applied Science lesson, students utilize their senses to distinguish various objects. Students explain their descriptions.

Students measure and correlate their foot lengths and body heights, then use this data to estimate height of Laetoli hominids. They use metric measurement and graphing to determine these heights.
