DISARTICULATED SKELETON
In this anatomy worksheet, 8th graders cut out the different parts of the skeleton and then put them back together and label it with the help of the example.
Curated OER
Skeletal System
Third graders describe and identify the parts of the skeleton and how they support the body. They observe two chicken bones that have been soaked in vinegar for 5 - 7 days. They observe the bone's appearance after it has been removed...

Three Dimensional Art of Vertebrates and Invertebrates
Students, during this twelve week series of lessons, learn basic anatomy through life sketches of human skeletons and shells. They learn fundamentals of line and convey life through sketches learning science through art.
Curated OER
MuscleMania
Middle schoolers learn three different types of muscles. By building a model of the arm, they learn its basic anatomy and how muscles function in relationship to bones. They perform an experiment on the relationship between muscle size...

Where Do We Come From? An Introduction to Primate Biology
Seventh graders explore skeletal biology. Through a discussion and video observation, 7th graders investigate how the anatomy is adapted to the environment. Students study primates and explore their characteristics and behaviors.
Curated OER
Human Traces
Students create and construct human skeletons by rubbing casts of bone impressions on paper, and then label most important components of human skeleton.
Curated OER
Mathematics In You
Students construct ratios using the hand as data. They use examples of cortical and trabecular bone found in the long bones to measure circumference, diameter, length, and weight of long bones. They perform computations using growth...
