Young scholars read "The Magic School Bus in the Human Body" and discuss the importance of maintaining a healthy body. They create a hinge and joint paper skeleton, follow the journey of a hamburger through the digestive tract, jump rope...

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 examine the muscular system. In this muscular system lesson, students first draw a realistic representation of their leg or arm bones. Students do several activities to attach these bones to "joints" with string to simulate...

Students create a picture from the shape of a bone. In this life science and art lesson plan, students discuss their bones and their purposes, then use a picture of a bone as a starting point for an artistic transformation. Lesson can be...

Students 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, they...

Students discover human anatomy by dancing with a song in class.  In this human body lesson, students listen to the song "Dem Dry Bones"  and identify the different parts of a paper human skeleton.  Students perform a...

Young scholars examine human anatomy by creating a prosthetic limb.  In this medical engineering instructional activity, students view numerous images of prosthetics used in science today and define several medical terms associated...

Young scholars 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 use the body as a sensory laboratory to explore their five senses, heartbeat, bones, and even size. In this early childhood science lesson, students build science and critical thinking skills as they take part in up to 6...

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...

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.

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 create body cutouts of themselves and label specific internal and external organs/parts that are covered in class in this exciting lesson plan on Human Anatomy. Digital cameras and pictures of various internal organs are required.

Students examine human bones. For this skeletal system lesson, students review the functions and locations of bones in the human body. Students work in groups to complete an activity where they discover why bones are hollow and discuss...

Seventh graders identify and label twenty-five bones of the skeletal system. In small groups they glue various types of dried pasta to a large human body outline. They attach the pasta to the outline and label the pasta bones.

Sixth graders record a video. In this skeletal system lesson, 6th graders review what they already know about the skeletal system and then watch a presentation. Students work in groups to discuss what they learned and write a script for...

Learners study the skeleton. For this human body lesson, students draw and label bones in the body by tracing each other and creating a skeleton out of body parts and brass fastners.

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.

Students discover the names of 13 major bones in the human skeletal system. They construct their skeleton using paper plates and other simple products. Links to templates are provided within the resource.

Students create and construct human skeletons by rubbing casts of bone impressions on paper, and then label most important components of human skeleton.

Seventh graders identify the common bones in the human body. In this biology lesson, 7th graders research two bones assigned to them. They explain why bones are important to us.

Learners investigate the human skeletal system. In this biology lesson, 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 system to...

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 research the skeletal system. In this anatomy lesson, students measure their bodies to find the approximate length of their bones. They draw and cut out each of the bones and then attach them using brads or glue.
