Third graders explore the digestive system. In this food pyramid lesson students investigate the food pyramid. Students make connections between eating healthy and how it makes them feel.

Learners consider the affects of space travel on the human body. In this human physiology instructional activity, students compare how the 5 different body systems work on Earth and in Space. Learners then design a product that an...

Learners examine and research the human digestive system and what happens to the food we eat. They read the article, The Passage of Food, participate in an experiment with crackers, and write a paragraph summarizing the function of the...

Students explore the systems that comprise the human body. In this human physiology lesson, students create a model of the human body and research a disease from a particular system. Students will then choose to either interview a person...

Students investigate the nervous system.  In this anatomy lesson, students identify and define vocabulary related to the nervous system. Students role play the parts of a nervous system and perform an experiment measuring and...

Students study human anatomy and physiology.

Students explore the parts of the digestive system. Using interactive spreadsheet software, students observe, name and describe the function of each part of the digestive system. Students may work individually or in pairs.

Sixth graders learn about the colon and what it does. In this lesson plan about digestion and the colon, 6th graders analyze what this organ's job is. Students complete four activities where they explore the importance of fiber, the...

In this body systems instructional activity, learners work in small groups conduct research to become an 'expert' on one of the 7 body systems. Students present their findings to the class via power point, poster, or song.

Students look at the functions of the body. In this biology lesson plan, students explore the functioning of some body part and construct a "living doll" composed of the body parts discussed.

Students use creative writing in order to review the digestive system and other various parts of the human body. They write a creative story about a hamburger and the journey it takes during digestion. The lesson includes key words that...

Students 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.

Explore the respiratory system with a model. First, pupils build a set of lungs to experiment how they inflate and deflate. Then, they delve deeper into the topic with a web quest to discover new information about the nose, trachea, and...

Learners understand how their food moves through the digestive system. In this digestion lesson, students measure the length of the digestive system from a projection of it. Learners draw their own pictures of the digestive system.

Learners identify their feelings and learn constructive ways of handling conflict. In this human mental health lesson, students identify their feelings, learn how to tell others about their feelings, and learn how to resolve conflict....

Learners design a pumping device that will effectively pump fluid through a model "cardiovascular system." They explore the effects of too much and too little pressure on a circulatory system.

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...
