In this science worksheet, students learn parts of the body by cutting out 15 word and picture cards, There are no directions for the use of these cards. These are not pictures of internal organs, but body parts such as finger, nose, eye...

In this ear anatomy worksheet, students complete an on-line interactive exercise. Students analyze a detailed diagram of the ear. Students drag the names of ten parts of the ear to the correct spot on the diagram.

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...

Learners discuss the functioning of the digestive system and the specific enzymes present. They observe the action of amylase on starch to identify characteristics of enzymes then perform an experiment on the effects of temperature on...

Learners examine the hierarchy theory and biotic organization by playing a teacher-created card game matching groups of items, such as organelles, in suits of four. They discuss the reasons for their hierarchical organization of the...

In this life cycle workbook, 3rd graders complete several different activities in which they analyze different invertebrates, identify arthropods, examine human biology and plants, and study natural environments. 20 different activities...

Eleventh graders explore the major organs of the circulatory system. In this circulatory system lesson plan, 11th graders create, identify and describe parts of the system. Students view a list of major organs and predict what their job...

Students experience, explore and study the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead. They assess the importance of having bones, identify the different bones that we have in our body and encounter how to make a skeleton and decorate it in...
