Students gain an understanding of how systems and organs in the human body work. They create their own fictional account of a trip through the human body, and describe one response the body makes to stimuli.

Middle and high schoolers solve a riddle about the appendix, and explore the paradox surrounding this organ. They research other human body organs to create a paper model of the human body, and write riddles highlighting identifying...

Explore the human body through hands-on activities. Young learners will trace their bodies and place cut out body organs in the proper place, print patterns using cut fruit, sing songs about good nutrition, and use their five senses...

Students research major organs the skeletal system of the human body. They identify the function of the human skeleton and organ systems and then create a life-sized outline of their bodies and draw the skeletal system and major organs...

Young scholars identify the functions of various body parts. They participate in the "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" song, draw a picture of themselves and other mammals, and create a traced outline of their body that they add...

Learners identify the systems of the human body and their functions. They illustrate the systems to investigate where and how they function in the body. Afterward, they layer these systems to comprehend the depth and dimension of the...

Students observe Australian X-ray paintings for information and to understand the art techniques used. Then they imagine and draw the inner organs of an animal. Students also research the anatomy of the animal to analyze the accuracy of...

Students identify features of the human body, explore needs of the human body by explaining the importance of good health in relationship to the body, and study functions and care of the human body and its organs.

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.

In this body systems lesson, students 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.

High schoolers design bionic organs or limbs. In this medical technology lesson, students view a video about artificial organs and prosthetic limbs. They research the medical technology behind these advances and work to design a organ or...

Students create movements that connect art and science. For this body systems lesson, students interpret the function of body systems, organs, and processes as they create movements to exhibit their research findings.

Learners investigate the human skeletal system. In this biology lesson plan, students trace the outline of their body onto butcher paper and fill in the names of the bones. Learners use an overhead transparency of the human skeletal...

Students examine the body's major organ systems and how they function and influence each other. They examine how the human body moves when involved in sports.

Students perform activities to explore how their arm works and what muscles are involved. They view animated comparisons of human and robotic arms. Students create a model of the human arm.

Eighth graders begin the lesson by building a house of cards. They discuss ways that building a house of cards is similar to the way the body is built: different systems work together to help the whole body work together. Students listen...

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...

Young scholars research information about the human body. They read books and explore the Internet to gather information about the human body. Students create graphic representations and models of the body systems. Working in groups,...

Students explore homeostasis within the nervous and endocrine system with this Smart Board activity. In this biology lesson plan, students will fill in the know and want to know sections of a KWL chart as a class using a...

Students identify and analyze that Global Interdependence and Internationalism have become major themes in human activity in the areas of population, environment, the world economy, and the United Nations. Students identify the...

Fourth graders study the names and parts of the excretory system in this hands-on activity. They use common items to make a model of the system.

High schoolers examine the advances made in technology with regard to prosthetics and replacement organs and limbs. They describe the anatomy and functions of different organs and create their own artificial organ. They defend and...

Eighth graders explain the functions of various body systems. Using a concept map, 8th graders identify and explain the fuctions of the skeletal, skin, and muscular systems of the body. After completing their concept map, students...

Students use PowerPoint, movie clips, graphic organizers, and a foldable to research and display information about how each body system contributes to the regulation, growth, and maintenance of the human body. Additional links and...
