Following along with their teacher, students learn about the various upper body muscles we have such as the bicep and pectoral muscles and learn how to give them a good stretch and exercise.

This lesson depicts students following along with their teacher to learn about lower body muscles. Students learn about muscles such as the gluteal and hamstring and how to give them a good stretch and exercise.

Learn what muscles are, how they are classified, and how they are attached to the body's skeletal system. This site contains several definitions, illustrations showing the parts of muscles, and a quiz to test your knowledge of muscles...

This activity helps students understand the significance of programming and also how the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robot's sensors assist its movement and make programming easier. Students compare human senses to robot sensors, describing...

This site includes information about skeletal muscles, of which the best-known feature is its ability to contract and cause movement.

Poster illustrates how muscles turn energy into movement.

Students are introduced to how engineering closely relates to the field of biomechanics and how the muscular system produces human movement. They learn the importance of the muscular system in our daily lives, why it is important to be...

Make Sid move to match his father's movements and learn to identify where to find your muscles.

This is a virtual lab that investigates the effects of damage to eye muscles and nerves on the motion of the eyes. This lab is extremely realistic. This activity can be done as a whole class or as a demonstration.

In this interactive tutorial you will discover that the cytoskeleton is both a muscle and a skeleton, and is responsible for cell movement, cytokinesis, and the organization of the organelles within the cell.

Students explore the different ways mammals move by observing them walk, hop, gallop, swim and swing in animations. Facts about habitat and structure are also included in these animations.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this unit children learn about how the skeleton is related to movement and support in humans and what happens to the skeleton and muscles as they move. They also compare human bones and skeletons...

Four lessons related to robots and people present students with life sciences concepts related to the human body (including brain, nervous systems and muscles), introduced through engineering devices and subjects (including computers,...

Students explore the similarities between how humans move and walk and how robots move, so they come to see the human body as a system from an engineering point-of-view. Movement results from decision making (deciding to walk and move)...

Lecture notes and diagrams about the skeletal system. Also includes a link to more lecture notes.

A good discussion of the major adaptations of the skeleton of birds in order to adapt to flight.
