Students try to cure an upset stomach. In this acids and bases in the body lesson, students create a upset stomach with a vinegar and water solution, then use antacids and home remedies to attempt to restore pH balance to the mixture.

Students explore and compare abstraction of human forms in various ancient cultures and by creating self-portraits using geometric shapes. They identify which geometric shapes form the following features: face, nose, arms, torso, legs,...

Students investigate how animals adapt to use its senses to identify foods that are nutritious or noxious. They determine how they associate foods with other things such as birthdays. They discuss the role of the nervous system in the...

Students analyze how the digestive system works by taking the food we eat and breaking it down for our bodies to use for various reasons. They list the major components of the digestive system and draw a diagram. They explain how...

In this muscles worksheet, learners read an article about building muscles and keeping them strong. Students choose any muscle in their body and use a website to learn about that muscle. They chart four muscles and exercises used to...

Fourth graders simulate how the digestive system works. In this hands-on simulation, 4th graders complete six group activities that help students visualize how our body breaks down food into nutrients.

Students study the human digestive system in order for the students to relate common kitchen items to the function of specific digestive organs. They list major organs on one side and find the item or appliance most analogous to the...

In this regulation of the human heart rate worksheet, high schoolers learn to measure their heart rate and design an experiment to test for the affects of a stimulus on the heart rate.

Students investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students read the book The Greedy Triangle and define the shapes mentioned in the book. Students make the shapes by using their bodies.

Students define the functions of the circulatory system.  In this body circulation lesson plan students see how engineers have involvement with the circulatory system. 

Print these cards to play any number of games as a way to practice human anatomy vocabulary. There are 20 cards, 10 contain definitions or clues and 10 contain the answers to those clues. They could be used to play memory, a jigsaw...

Use the hokey pokey music to teach the names of some of the major bones in the human body. Circle up, put on the music, and put your right radius in. Use this in an anatomy class to spice things up a bit!
