Strengthen understanding of the musculoskeletal system with a structured lesson! Begin with a discussion of bones, joints, and muscles. Have small groups read assigned articles and watch videos to gather information and then write a...

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

Students research the skeletal system. In this anatomy instructional activity, 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...

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...

A set of 10 questions, in various styles, tests your anatomy and physiology knowledge about the workings of the musculoskeletal system. Because several of the questions pertain to bone disease and more advanced topics like synovial and...

Excellent diagrams, labels and summaries make this resource be valuable to your students throughout the topic of circulation. All types of circulation vessels are explained, their structure and function is detailed, and the overall...

In this skeletal system instructional activity, students complete a crossword about the skeletal system. Students insert 14 words into the crossword. An answer key is provided.

Ten pieces that make up a human skeleton are printed on this handout. Anatomists cut them out, affix them to another sheet of paper, and then label the major bones. With this assignment, pupils review the skeletal system, and you will...

A compact notebook of slides, this presentation describes characteristics of three types of muscle. Most of the slides consist simply of bullet-point facts for each type, although a diagram and information on the structure of skeletal...

Students examine the muscular system. In this muscular system lesson, students first draw a realistic representation of their leg or arm bones. Students do several activities to attach these bones to "joints" with string to simulate...

What better way to study the structures of organisms than by creating a new being? After considering different types of skeletal supports (exoskeleton and endoskeleton), budding biogeneticists work together to create their own animals -...

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...

This is a fabulous presentation which should reinforce all aspects of muscle construction on a gross anatomical and micro level. There are slides to help understanding with the muscle fiber anatomy, and many labelled diagrams to...

Students conduct Internet research on the different parts of the skeletal system. Then they create a model arm that demonstrates how muscle and bone work together to create movement.

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 science worksheet, young scholars investigate the human skeletal system. Students read factual paragraphs with details about the bones in the human body and in some other species as well. Young scholars complete a crossword puzzle.

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

In this skeletal system worksheet, students place the phrases that are associated with the skeletal system on the concept map at the bottom of the worksheet.

What's the difference between the digestive system and the endocrine system? Explore 12 body systems in this anatomy matching learning exercise, for which learners find descriptions corresponding to anatomical terminology. Some of the...

In this skeletal system worksheet, learners will read a graphic organizer and complete 1 short answer question about the five functions of the skeleton. Then students will use a graphic organizer about muscle types to fill in a table...

Students identify bones off a skeleton during quizzes; assemble disarticulated skeletons; bird, frog and rat. They dissect frogs, remove the muscle tissue, and identify of bones.

Students study three different muscle types and investigate the affect of space travel on astronauts' muscles. They examine how exercise has a positive affect on muscle both on Earth and in space while looking at engineers' roles in...

In this crossword puzzle instructional activity, students answer 17 clues about vocabulary related to the human skeletal and muscular systems.

Students study human anatomy and physiology.
