Third graders investigate the three main types of joints in their arms and legs that are in charge of movement.  In this human biology lesson, 3rd graders view x-rays online to see how different joints look, participate in exercises...

Students research the skeletal system. In this anatomy lesson, 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 glue. 

Students study the components of the skeletal system naming the bone groups that make up the appendicular and axial skeletal systems. They name the different layers of bone and the types of joints. They create an animated skeleton.

In this skeletal system activity, students answer 16 questions about the functions of the skeletal system, the groups of bones that make up the skeletal system, the parts of the bones, the joints, the components of the bones and the...

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...

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...

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 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...

Young scholars discover the names of 13 major bones in the human skeletal system. They construct their skeleton using paper plates and other simple products. Links to templates are provided within the resource.

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

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...

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.

In this human body learning exercise, students 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.

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...

First graders examine body systems and demonstrate their competency in a quiz game show. Lessons cover the brain, heart, lungs, digestive system, muscles, and bones. Students , in teams, answer teacher-created questions in the game.

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

Students explore the concept of the human body. They complete a variety of activities concerning the function of various organs. They listen to their heartbeat with a stethoscope, examine how muscles work during a game of tag, and play...

Seventh graders demonstrate the processes of science by posing questions and investigating phenomena through language, methods and instruments of science. They study the body features or systems of several animals.

Different types of teeth have different roles. Third graders study how molars, incisors, and canines function in a rabbit skull and a cat skull. After answering some questions about the teeth of herbivores and carnivores, kids...

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 instructional activity, students draw and label bones in the body by tracing each other and creating a skeleton out of body parts and brass fastners.

Students 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.

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 investigate the muscle system operating in the kick of a ball. The order in which the six muscle groups contract is noted as the movement is produced by the contraction of opposing muscles required to move a limb in opposing...
