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 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 explore things that are their size, literally. In this early childhood lesson plan, students use their bodies for measuring and comparing sizes as they work in pairs to complete the activity.

Is foot length to forearm length a linear association? The class collects data of fellow scholars' foot length and the length of their forearms. They plot the data and find a line of best fit. Using that line, they make predictions of...

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

Every moment, the systems in your body are working together to keep you breathing, standing, and thinking. Elementary schoolers explore the human body and its systems with an impressive, 15-page lesson plan that should leave your...

Students engage in a lesson to measure body parts. They use the measuring tape to record the data of body measurements. Students must choose the appropriate unit of measurement and compare the data for the different parts of the human body.

Communicating results is just as important as getting results! Learners create a poster to highlight their findings in the experiment conducted in the previous lesson plan in a 30-part series. The resource provides specific criteria and...

Students examine different types of non-standard measurement. In this measuring lesson plan, students utilize their fingers, palms and feet as measuring tools. Students discuss the difference between measuring using parts of their body...

Second and third graders explore the size of their bodies. They use string to measure parts of their body in small groups. After measuring with string, students measure the string with a ruler. They then glue their string to a piece of...

First graders investigate the three main parts of a plant. In this plant parts lesson, 1st graders explore vocabulary for the topic and read a story about plant parts. Students view a PowerPoint and take a quiz for the topic....

Youngsters search for an animal with body parts for each number from one to ten during a field trip to an aquarium. They count rays, fins, feet, gills, eyes, spots or anything. When they get back to the classroom, they compile their...

Practice counting and patterns in one fun activity! After discussing the word cent and what it means, kids count the number of body parts on the centimeter and add two legs to each. They then determine if there is a faster way to...

Second graders participate in a review of how to use rulers and yard sticks while collecting measurement information. They measure assigned body parts and chart the data on collection sheets. They make a spreadsheet with the information...

Examine wood bugs and their habitat. Learners gather wood bugs and examine their bodies. Then discuss their body parts and how they help them survive. They also predict where they think wood bugs live to then graph the class results.

Students explore the concept of the golden ratio in nature and architectural design. They discuss examples such as petals on a sunflower and the Parthenon. In small groups they take turns measuring their body parts to find a golden ratio.

Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

For this density of the human body worksheet, students measure several parts of the body to calculate the body volume. Students convert the body volume to body mass and body density.

Students use technology to graph and compare angles. In this geometry lesson plan, students range of motion in the environment. They identify the missing parts of polygons using similarity and congruence.

Second graders use their bodies to create various shapes to make a dance when given various music and beats. In this shapes and dance lesson plan, 2nd graders create lines, curves, twists, and angles with their bodies.

Learners practice counting skills and naming body parts of an alien they create using number and word cards. They design an alien with the indicated numbers of body parts. Afterward, they work cooperatively to count and verify each...

Students test Leonardo da Vinci's view of the human body by measuring various body parts using a tape measure. They create a data table and a scatter plot and then analyze and interpret the results using a graphing calculator.

Third graders find symmetry in their body. In this symmetry lesson, 3rd graders look at different geometric shapes and identify which ones are symmetrical and find their line of symmetry. They measure body parts to the nearest half inch...

Students practice basic body positions by moving to music using a locomotive skill called out by the teacher. Students move to a new spot when the music stops, and continue the game as new movements are called. Students discuss body...
