Third graders identify bones, muscles and joints. They explore and investigate the interaction between bones, muscles and joints, and movement of the hand or foot. To help the teacher provides a poster of the human skeleton.

Students learn about the human body. In this science lesson plan, students discover the bones of the head and face as they explore their own cranium.

Students investigate human needs and how they have adapted to different environments. They complete an experiment to discover the effect of stress on muscles. They use the food pyramid to create a plan for healthy eating.

Students exercise their muscles to explore concept of heart rate and to explain how blood supplies muscles with oxygen.

Students explore the steps of protein synthesis in zebrafish. They view video clips to identify the parts of a zebrafish and observe them as they sequence the developmental stages. In groups they identify the muscles and how proteins are...

Third graders are introduced to bones as the body's means of support and protection. They research bone facts and conduct an experiment with chicken bones. They identify and observe involuntary muscles at work.

For this anatomy of the heart worksheet, students participate in a lab to describe the location of the heart in the body, identify a cardiac muscle tissue and trace the flow of blood through the heart.

Students examine the strength and resilience of the human heart. They squeeze a tennis ball to demonstrate the strength of the human heart, record and analyze the results on a worksheet, and create a poster of a design of a device to...

Students investigate the nervous system.  In this anatomy lesson, students identify and define vocabulary related to the nervous system. Students role play the parts of a nervous system and perform an experiment measuring and...

Fifth through eighth graders engage in a lesson in which they study working class people during the Great Depression. They work to develop an understanding of the economic developments in Arkansas during the 1930's. Learners access...

A slideshow that covers the all-important details related to basic human circulation. The reasoning for exchange of material methods is presented and then labeled diagrams of the main human transfer systems are shown, along with...

Students explore the cardiovascular system. Through the use of video, students observe the heart pumping an oxygen-enriched blood supply through arteries to the muscles in use during exercise. They participate in activities to explore...

Students get a yarn ball and find a good self space in the playing area (best designated by cones-NOT the walls of a gym). On the teacher's signal students walk and try to tag anyone and everyone in the area.

Students learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students make a personal heart profile of an important member of their own hardworking team.

In this tissue learning exercise, students are given notes on 6 types of epithelial tissues, 10 examples of connective tissue, three types of muscular tissue and the components of nerve tissue.

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...

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms that are specific muscles found in the human body. There are 18 biology terms located in the word search.

Students classify themselves according to the six skin types. In this biology lesson, students explore the causes of human skin variation. They present their findings in class.

Information about the human circulatory system is featured in a reading comprehension worksheet that asks kids to respond to a series of questions based on the provided article

Starting with a diagram of the kidneys and urinary tract of the human, this sheet has questions about excretion, blood concentrations of hormones, gland feedback mechanisms and the effects of some hormones.

Use this attractive PowerPoint to introduce all the hormones and their functions to your students. As students view each slide, they should be able to see the relevance of many of the chemicals and their interaction with the human body....

Students discover how muscles work. In this biology activity, students explain the causes of fatigue and muscle soreness. They create graphs and compare results with their classmate.
