Strengthen understanding of the musculoskeletal system with a structured lesson! Begin with a discussion of bones, joints, and muscles. Have small groups read assigned articles and watch videos to gather information and then write a...

Clarify and color code the anatomy of a bone with this resource. This worksheet lists 7 parts of a bone along with a definition for each part. Learners read through this information and color in each part of the bone a listed color. They...

Young biologists piece together the puzzle of the human body with this simple anatomy worksheet. Presented with a picture of the human skeleton, students are challenged with the task of correctly identifying the 27...

Here is an interactive PowerPoint about the skeletal system. The first slide shows the entire skeleton and allows learners to try to name each major bone structure before clicking to show the answer. The following slides provide more...

After a lesson on the human skeleton, hand out a worksheet that requires learners to identify the pelvis, rib cage, skill, spine, and thigh bones. They draw a line from the name of the bone to its location on the skeleton. Tip: Instead...

Students explore the human skeleton. In this biology lesson, students view a diagram of the human skeleton and identify the names of bones. Students define the role bones play in protecting the human body and construct a paper 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...

Seventh graders identify and label twenty-five bones of the skeletal system. In small groups they glue various types of dried pasta to a large human body outline. They attach the pasta to the outline and label the pasta bones.

Young scholars explore the relationship between their skeletal and muscular systems, resulting in ability to name and compare types of joints and ability to demonstrate how muscles move bones.

Learners investigate the human skeletal system. In this biology lesson plan, students trace the outline of their body onto butcher paper and fill in the names of the bones. Learners use an overhead transparency of the human skeletal...

In this muscle and skeletal system worksheet, high schoolers complete a crossword puzzle given clues to terms related to muscles, joints, bones and connective tissue.

Sixth graders record a video. For this skeletal system lesson, 6th graders review what they already know about the skeletal system and then watch a presentation. Students work in groups to discuss what they learned and write a script for...

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 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.

To truly teach through the arts means one must tackle both art and core content in one lesson plan. This quick activity does just that. Learners make skeletons out of cotton swabs in order to study relief sculpture and the skeletal...

For this bone worksheet, students are given 3 diagrams related to bones. They label the parts of each diagram by coloring the parts according to the given key. Diagrams include an osteocyte, spongy and compact bone and a magnified view...

Seventh graders explore the functions of the skeletal system. They collaborate in small groups to determine the function of the skeletal system, the types of joints and movement, bone strength and growth, and bone injuries including...

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.

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

Students trace the outline of one of their members and draw in the bones from the diagram. They make flashcards of the bones out of index cards. Once the drawings and flashcards are finished, they quiz each other in preparation for a game.

Students engage in an activity in order to review the skeletal system. They play a game composed of two teams to be played in an open area. Students pick out bones from a bag and place them in the correct space for the skeleton.

Students listen to the song "Bone Song" as they enter the class. They identify the bones in the human body. Students are given the topic: Do body systems work together? Give an example. They work in groups of two and study the bones...
