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.

Students create body cutouts of themselves and label specific internal and external organs/parts that are covered in class in this exciting lesson on Human Anatomy. Digital cameras and pictures of various internal organs are required.

In this mammalian heart worksheet, students fill in the blank with information about the circulatory system and the process of cardian catheterization.

In this excretory system learning exercise, students describe the functions that the organs of the urinary system perform and what happens when the kidneys do not work properly. Students also name the excretory organs of the body and...

Fifth graders explore the circulatory system. Using the internet, and their textbook, they research the heart and blood flow through the body. Students use MicroSoft Word to complete a written letter which summarizes information about...

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.

In this nervous system alphabet book worksheet, students study 26 neuroscience terms as they read the 26 terms and their definitions in the glossary. Some of the terms included are: receptor, unipolar, white matter, axon, hemisphere,...

Students label main structures of the digestive system, describe each structure's function, and describe sequence of events involved in digestion.

Students explore the circulatory system. They observe a dissection of a heart and view the path that blood takes through the heart and the circulatory system. Students identify the structures and functions of the heart. They write a...

In this urinary system worksheet, young scholars participate in a lab to describe the overall function of the urinary system and identify from models of the kidney twelve structures found within the urinary system.

In this central nervous system worksheet, students define 24 terms associated with the human central nervous system. They answer 28 short answer questions dealing with the structures and function of the CNS.

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders label the different illustrations of movable joints. Then they describe the pivot, ball-and-socket, hinge, and gliding joints in detail. Students also list the five major functions of the skeletal...

Students get an understanding of the main components of the digestive system and how the system takes the food we eat and converts it into energy.

Eighth graders assess fat content of different food samples. In this biology lesson, 8th graders create a flowchart showing the transport of cholesterol in the bloodstream. They perform tests for the presence of lipids on food samples.

A helpful presentation highlights the importance of exercise, and focuses on how muscles move when we move our bodies. The last two slides invite learners to create a brochure that promotes the benefits of a certain sport on the body,...

Young scholars identify the components and functions of the skeletal system. They identify and interpret that the skeletal system is the frame for the human body and are evaluated by their behavior and participation throughout the lesson.
