Circulatory Systems
Excellent diagrams, labels and summaries make this resource be valuable to your students throughout the topic of circulation. All types of circulation vessels are explained, their structure and function is detailed, and the overall...
Curated OER
The Skeletal System
For this biology worksheet, 9th graders study the diagram of the dog shown and label the corresponding bones on the human skeleton. They explain some of the differences in location of the bones as compared to the dog.
Curated OER
TE Activity: Muscles, Muscles Everywhere
Students study three different muscle types and investigate the affect of space travel on astronauts' muscles. They examine how exercise has a positive affect on muscle both on Earth and in space while looking at engineers' roles in...
Curated OER
Organ Systems
Students examine organisms that are composed of tissues, organs, and systems. They dissect a fetal pig and explore the assigned organs systems such as the skeletal, muscular, and circulatory organs. Students identify and explain their...

Kids, Giraffes, and Neck Bones
Everyone knows giraffes have longer necks than humans, but how do our neck bones compare to theirs? Learners examine a human vertebrae X-ray, counting the bones and predicting how many might be in a giraffe neck. They use a research site...
Curated OER
Dissecting Owl Pellets
Students examine owl pellets and what their diet consisted of, specifically rodents. This furthers their understanding of simple food chains as well as bone structure and identification.
Curated OER
What is an Animal?
In this animal worksheet, students review characteristics of animals including body symmetry, development, and skeletal structure. This worksheet has 3 short answer questions.
Curated OER
What is an Animal?
In this animal worksheet, students review various characteristics that are associated with animals including body plan and skeletal structure. This worksheet has 11 fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
Skeletal System
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...
Curated OER
Owl Pellets
Young scholars dissect owl pellets, and compare, identify and record rodent skeletal parts. They compare rodent skeletal diagrams to human skeletal diagrams.

Comparing Human and Avian Skeletons
In this human and avian skeleton review activity, students read about both skeletal systems and respond to 10 fill in the blank and drawing questions.
Curated OER
Body Systems Unit
Second graders complete a unit of lessons on the body systems. They watch the video, Magic Schoolbus Inside the Human Body, trace their bodies and construct the systems on the tracing, simulate the digestive system, and participate in...
Curated OER
Bone Density
Students recognize how the strength and density of bone can reduce fractures. In this bone density lesson, students calculate density as they measure volume and mass of serial bone specimens in a group activity.

What Makes Our Bones Strong?
So is that what you meant by rubber legs? The activity has pairs subject a chicken bone to vinegar and observe what happens over a period of days. Individuals then write up a lab report and document their observations and findings.
Curated OER
Engineering Bones
Students identify the features of a prosthetic limb and explain how engineers are involved in the prosthetic design. In this bone engineering lesson students describe the design criteria that goes into choosing the materials that go...
Curated OER
Bones
Fifth graders observe real bones and models to learn about the structure and function of the skeletal system. In this skeletal system lesson, 5th graders manipulate objects and models of bones. They handle real bones and determine the...
