The Animal Body and How it Moves
Spark interest in the body structure of vertebrates with this comprehensive and colorful worksheet. Your biology class will explore the levels of organization, primary tissue types, and the main organ systems. Finally, they hone in on...
Curated OER
Moving Around
Convey the structure and function of muscles to your class with this PowerPoint. It explains how muscles are composed of bundles of cells and fibers, that there are three muscle types, and that contraction is either voluntary or...
Curated OER
MuscleMania
Students learn three different types of muscles. By building a model of the arm, they learn its basic anatomy and how muscles function in relationship to bones. They perform an experiment on the relationship between muscle size and...
Curated OER
Muscular System
In this muscular system worksheet, learners define related terms of the muscular system, they identify types of muscles, they order the events of muscle contraction and given a clue about structures and function of the muscular system...
Curated OER
Muscles
In this muscles worksheet, learners describe characteristics of the three types of muscle and the function of each. Then they describe the gross and microscopic anatomy of skeletal muscle. Students also describe the steps that occur in a...

Fitness Notes - Weight Training
For this resource, the fitness notes cover the five principles of fitness, the principles of training/exercise, and cardio-respiratory fitness. The weight training notes cover the principles of weight training, proper techniques, and the...
Curated OER
Movement, it's FUN-damental!
Learners discover how muscles work. In this biology lesson plan, students explain the causes of fatigue and muscle soreness. They create graphs and compare results with their classmate.
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
From One End to the Other
Seventh graders trace a piece of food through the digestive system. They describe the functions of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, etc.
Curated OER
From One End to the Other
Seventh graders trace a piece of food through the alimentary canal and differentiate between mechanical and chemical digestion in several different hands-on activities related to digestion.
Curated OER
From One End to the Other
Seventh graders become more familiar with how our food is broken down mechanically and chemically. They also trace the food through the alimentary canal.
