Body Organization and Structure

Cells of different organs have unique cell functions. Learn how cell functions vary depending on their roles in the body using an inquiry-based activity. Scholars analyze the cell structure to make comparisons to its functions, allowing...

Have your young biologists consider body organization and homeostasis by answering the thirteen questions on this worksheet. Unfortunately, not all biology textbooks cover these two topics within the same chapter, so you may not be able...

Seventh graders dissect animals to investigate their anatomy. For this life science lesson, 7th graders name at least three different internal organs. They explain the functions of these organs.

What's the difference between the digestive system and the endocrine system? Explore 12 body systems in this anatomy matching instructional activity, for which learners find descriptions corresponding to anatomical terminology. Some of...

Sixth graders build a simple animal cell following an instruction guide. In this life science lesson, 6th graders identify the different parts and functions of the cell. They complete a worksheet after the lab.

Students study how an organism must have an organized system for proper growth and development.  In this investigative lesson students illustrate the function of a cell.

Initially, general details about cells and single cell organisms are provided. Next, the concentration becomes cellular processes such as respiration, osmosis, diffusion, fission and mitosis.  This is an attractive PowerPoint which gives...

The physiological traits that cause our bodies to age are examined in a short, animated video.

You might find this video a little silly-ary (ciliary, as in, ciliary muscle). Giant, hat-wearing eyeballs with legs walk around as Chloe and the Nurb discuss different features of this light-collecting organ. Get your class focusing on...

Students research systems of the human body. In this biology lesson, students read the book Yucky Story and identify the systems of the human body. Students create a Powerpoint presentation to demonstrate their knowledge of the content.
