Students recognize the characteristics of insects.  In this edible bugs lesson, students observe the body parts of an insect.  Students create an edible insect using a grape, carrot sticks and sorrel stems and leaves. ...

By exploring the latest research on cell and tissue renewal your young scientists can understand the various internal body parts and systems examined in these studies.

Germs, parasites, and viruses, oh my! Facilitate a lesson on viruses as individuals explore functions of Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. They learn how viruses compare with other organisms in nature and how they contribute to health...

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...

Students read food labels to compare healthy verses non healthy food and then use diagrams to create a poster of the digestive system. In this food lesson plan, students move the food down the digestive track along the digestive system.

Students identify their feelings and learn constructive ways of handling conflict. In this feelings and conflict instructional activity, students read a story about conflict and identify ways to understand emotions and resolve conflict.

First graders explore the circulatory system and its functions. They draw and label the parts of the circulatory system on traced body paper cutouts, and walk on a large chalk outline of a body, following the path of the circulatory system.

Students look at the functions of the body. In this biology lesson plan, students explore the functioning of some body part and construct a "living doll" composed of the body parts discussed.

Students use the Internet to research the circulatory system. They explore the different organs of the circulatory system and their functions. There are animations, online quizzes, games, and interactive tours of this system.

Fifth graders, in groups, create a plant or animal cell out of cookies, frosting, and candy pieces.

Students compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the internal organs of herps--reptiles and amphibians--and humans.

Students are introduced to how the digestive system works in their body. In groups, they discover they need energy and water to live a healthy life. They discover how the body repairs itself and how it grows. They also examine how...

In this human reproduction learning exercise, 9th graders explain why the testes are located on the outside of the body rather than the inside. Then they explain how often eggs are released in the female. Students also describe puberty.

In this nervous system worksheet, students read information about how the body receives and sends out information through the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

In this skeletal system worksheet, students 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...

In this science related worksheet, students locate and answer thirty three multiple choice questions regarding the digestive system in humans.

Students demonstrate the path of food in the body. In this biology lesson, students conduct an experiment to determine how large the the digestive system is. They name the different organs involved in the digestive process.

Students create imaginary animals by assembling pictures of body parts from pictures of real animals. This is one of three linked tasks. The others are "Who's Parts Do I Have?" and "Animals Piece by Piece."

Students use a website to name and compare external body parts of humans and other animals.

Students explore the concept of self and analyze the Human Organization Theory. Individually, students write poems about themselves. In small groups, they create a poster related to the 14 categories of the Human Organization Theory....

This plant structure and function PowerPoint addresses the main organs and the factors that affect its development as well as going into detail about the specializations at a cellular level.   The cell functions and system...

In this rubric worksheet, students are provided with 4 different scoring categories. Each category is broken into specific tasks they will be graded upon.

Sixth graders show what they know about plant and animal cells. For this cell project lesson, 6th graders get to choose a project based on their learning style. They can create a visual representation of cells, auditory forms, or build a...

Seventh graders examine different transplant types and estimate the possible outcomes.  In this biology lesson students discuss donors and transplants then divide into groups and complete a worksheet.
