Fifteen multiple choice questions review a variety of biology topics. In game-show fashion, viewers answer questions about a plant's needs, the skeletal system, and the cardiovascular system. If you happen to teach these three topics...

Here is an interactive PowerPoint about the skeletal system. The first slide shows the entire skeleton and allows learners to try to name each major bone structure before clicking to show the answer. The following slides provide more...

What is the differences between exo and endoskeletons? Viewers have an opportunity to see the structure inside our bones and explore bone remodeling with a video about cartilage and bone formation in the human body. 

The hundreds of joints in the human body fit into five main categories. A quick video explains the joints in the skeleton, which are often the most confusing. The interactive reviews each of the five types of joints and has scholars...

In this biology worksheet, 4th graders use a word bank of bone vocabulary to label 15 bones on the human skeleton. They read about how there are more than 200 bones in the human body.

Strengthen understanding of the musculoskeletal system with a structured lesson! Begin with a discussion of bones, joints, and muscles. Have small groups read assigned articles and watch videos to gather information and then write a...

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

Students conduct Internet research on the different parts of the skeletal system. Then they create a model arm that demonstrates how muscle and bone work together to create movement.

Students gain a greater comprehension of the anatomy and physiology of the muscular system, the skeletal system and connective tissue by researching joints in the body. They also reflect on the effects of injuries on their joints and...

In this skeletal systems word search worksheet, students locate the 20 terms listed in the provided word bank within the word puzzle.

In this skeletal system worksheet, students are given 19 diagrams of different bones or parts of the skeletal system. They label all the structures of each bone or set of bones such as the skull and use the flashcards to study the parts.

For this skeletal system worksheet, students match 10 terms with their meanings, answer 20 multiple choice questions, fill in the blanks for 24 questions and answer 6 questions. Topics include structures and functions of the skeleton,...

In this science worksheet, students investigate the human skeletal system. Students read factual paragraphs with details about the bones in the human body and in some other species as well. Students complete a crossword puzzle.

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.

  Students discuss the need for humans to have a skeletal system and what would happen if we did not have bones.  In this skeletal system lesson, students label each bone in the human skeletal system as a group, and then...

Students 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.
