There's much to consider when contemplating an intervention for students. Here's a list of considerations that should be taken into account, as well as questions that should be asked and answered during the planning stage. 

Immerse biology learners in circulation and gas exchange for both simple organisms and higher animals. Six pages of short-answer questions and labelling of the human respiratory system are included. This assignment was written for an...

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 identify features of the human body, explore needs of the human body by explaining the importance of good health in relationship to the body, and study functions and care of the human body and its organs.

Students investigate organs, anatomical planes and transverse sections of the human body using gel people. In this human anatomy lesson plan, students use gel molds, gel and food items to make models of the human body. They create a...

In this human body activity, 2nd graders experiment making a full-sized human body portrait. Students discuss the human body organs and their functions. Students follow and complete 8 precise directives in making a human body portrait.

In this human body organization and structure worksheet, students complete 21 fill in the blank questions in the format of word scrambles, riddles, and puzzles.

Young scholars create a model of the digestive system. In this human anatomy instructional activity the students examine features of the digestive system. The young scholars perform an experiment.

Learners explain what happens to food as it passes through the digestive system. They have a 3x5 index card representing food, which he / she carries to stations around the room. Each station represents one of the organs of the digestive...

Students actively act out an aspect of the digestive tract on two parallel strips of tape on the floor 3-4 feet apart and width of classroom which represent the digestive tract.

Human anatomy enthusiasts trace neurological pahtways in word and on a diagram, describe action potential of a nerve impulse, and identify the organs in the nervous system. Provide this to your biology class as a review before...

Energize the cells of young biologists with an edible life science activity. Engaging students in exploring the inner workings of plant and animal cells, this activity involves using colored jello and various sweet and...

This is your brain on drugs ... literally! Your neuroscientists-in-training examine the evidence of drug use on the human brain and how neurons change their connectivity when altered by drugs. They then work together to create testing...

Students observe Australian X-ray paintings for information and to understand the art techniques used. Then they imagine and draw the inner organs of an animal. Students also research the anatomy of the animal to analyze the accuracy of...

A slide for each major organ of the human digestive system has been collected for this compact presentation. On each slide are bullet points listing characteristics and functions of an organ. The slides are plain white with a single,...
