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...

The human body can be a mystery, or at least a riddle. Fifth graders pair up and use Photostory to create a riddle relating to a human body part and how it functions in the body system. They will compose a riddle, use a story board, take...

Fun is in the air as learners with special needs engage in sensory-filled activities. They discuss color, snow, cold, winter, and body parts while touching and smelling various objects. They discuss the parts of the body with relation to...

Students 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 features to....

First Graders practice using the names of body parts by finding pictures and placing them in the correct position on a life-size outline of a human body. These type of hands-on lessons are one of the best ways for young learners to truly...

Seventh graders explore the basic body systems and design a commercial advertising one of them. They also create a body systems handbook.

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.

Young scholars examine the muscular system. In this muscular system instructional activity, students first draw a realistic representation of their leg or arm bones. Young scholars do several activities to attach these bones to...

Students use geometric shapes to describe body parts. In this geometry lesson, students use geometry vocabulary as they discuss body parts. They practice drawing bodies using shapes based on a wooden model that is poised to show specific...

Students complete a chart/graphic organizer based on the reading passage and locate specific information within the reading passage to complete the Human Body Cells Chart. They then utilize the Human Body Cells Chart to complete the...

Kids consider how the body functions and moves, how each structure has a specific movement and purpose. They apply that idea as they construct a sculptural piece that moves. For inspiration they look to the work of Alexander Calder,...

Students have sensory experiences with the sweet smell of discovery. In this early childhood science lesson, students use their sense of smell as they create and compare their very own fragrance essences with a variety of provided...

Students explore their five senses. In this human biology lesson, students participate in various learning centers that include activities such as creating a Q-tip skeleton, feeling play dough, creating "goop" and listening to drum beats.

Students identify body parts. In this human body lesson, students play a game in which they point to body parts called out by the teacher. Students draw, label, and assemble body parts made from construction paper. Students create...

Students assimilate the names of the parts of the body. They practice spelling body part words using a worksheet. They trace the outline of their bodies, add features and label the body parts from the vocabulary list.

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...

The identification of various parts of the human body is the focus of this biology lesson. Young scientists sing the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes," and trace the human body onto butcher paper. Additionally, they label the parts...

Students outline a body on butcher paper. Students fill in the circulatory system using materials of various textures. Students decorate all the parts of the circulatory system with art articles, like buttons, yarn, etc.

Students explore geometry by participating in a measurement activity. In this human anatomy lesson, students identify the appropriate methods to measure human body parts and do so in class. Students create a bar graph from their class...

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

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

Students locate and label body parts. After having their picture taken with a digital camera, students cut out their body and label body parts.

First graders study body parts and make life-size outline of their bodies. They label the outline with twenty body parts.

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