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...

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

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

Students study the body systems and their functions.  In this human body lesson students research the Internet on body systems and write a description of them. 

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 explore about the function of the skeleton and comprehend the names of the bones of the human skeleton. They compare bones of the human skeleton to a dinosaur skeleton and graph to compare these bones. Students sort bones to...
