Promote reading comprehension and practice naming parts of the human skeleton with this online interactive activity! Scholars read about the functions of the human skeletal system, then work online to label a diagram by filling in 18...

Students examine the muscular system. In this muscular system activity, 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...

For this musculoskeletal system worksheet, 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 worksheet has 10 fill in the blank...

Students examine human anatomy with a focus on the knee joint. In groups, they research the chemical makeup of human bones and explain the different types of joints found in the body. To end the lesson, they identify the other structures...

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.

In this bones worksheet, students compare the axial and the appendicular skeletons. Students also review the bone components. This worksheet has 6 matching, 8 short answer, 4 fill in the blank, and 6 true or false questions.

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 lesson.

Third graders describe and identify the parts of the skeleton and how they support the body. They observe two chicken bones that have been soaked in vinegar for 5 - 7 days. They observe the bone's appearance after it has been removed...

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.

Eighth graders research the required elements of the short programs in men's and women's figure skating. They analyze the physical requirements of each move and relate the types of muscles, bones, and joints required to perform them.

Arm your young scientists with knowledge about anatomy as they build their own model of the elbow joint. Help them get a firm grasp on how muscles and bones interact to allow movement as they try different positions for the muscles on...

Young scholars study the skeleton, about the number of and types of bones in the body, and how outer space affects astronauts' bones. They discover how to take care of their bones here on Earth to prevent osteoporosis, or, weakening of...

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

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

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

In this science worksheet, learners 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. Learners complete a crossword puzzle.

Students, in teams, follow the process of design, including the stages of investigation, creation, and reflection, as they devise a way to help "save" a (simulated) pet who is trapped in a pipe.

Students investigate the human skeletal system. In this biology lesson, 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 skeletal system to...

Students analyze the movements they can do with their bones, muscles and joints. They explore, have discovery and review knowledge of movement. Students are asked to find their personal space.

Students are challenged to design and construct a jointed figure that moves in a motion something like jumping jacks when a string is pulled.

Future engineers create robotic arms like those on rovers built by NASA in the second lesson of the series. They test their devices by attempting to pick up and move cups to a specified location.

What kinds of physical activity should youngsters do more of? What kind of activities should they do enough of? What kind of activities should they do less of? Studies say that children should be doing about an hour of vigorous activity...

Learners design device that will place a cup into a cupboard for a physically challenged person. They study the engineering design and how structure relates to function.
