Simple lists of anatomical terms fill the slides in this collection. It begins by explaining the general anatomic position and then goes into directional, body plane, and body cavity terms. The separate regions are categorized as head,...

Students investigate organs, anatomical planes and transverse sections of the human body using gel people. In this human anatomy lesson plan, students use gel molds, gel and food items to make models of the human body. They create a...

I don't always make vector jokes, but when I do, IJK. Vector addition using multiple methods, scalar multiplication, vector subtraction, vector components, relative velocities, free body diagrams, and so much more Are covered in this...

How are forces and motion important to a swing set? Scholars explore the concepts of force and motion using swing sets. In preparation for their own STEM design project, individuals take surveys and data from peers, complete labs on...

Fourth graders compare and contrast gliding flight and true flight. They investigate the basic principles of aeronautics. The class participates in activities to observe lift and the effect of air. Students design and fly their own...

Middle schoolers explore dissecting planes. In this biology lesson plan, students learn the basic vocabulary used in dissection, learn how to orient themselves on a three dimensional figure, and develop the manual dexterity necessary to...

Students investigate simple machines. In this simple machines lesson, students explore how tools increase productivity and make life easier. Students experiment with simple tools and discover the parts of each tool.

Students participate in activities about the five senses. They explore objects, listen to stories and discuss the senses with classmates.

Students investigate the reason for seasons on Earth during three activities. They construct a model of the Earth and Sun to identify patterns in the changes of the angle of light on the Earth's surface. Then they conduct a heat...

Students follow several pathways using anatomical directions on a simulated "body" produced from a copy of a school building's fire evacuation plan.

Students experiment using a compass for navigation and consider how various instruments affect how we travel.

Students describe stellar objects using terms such as stars, planets, satellites, orbits and light. In this sun and stars unit, students research stellar objects through seven individual lessons discovering star characteristics, how...

Fourth graders create enlarged replica of a stegosaurus drawing, using a grid to practice coordinates.

Students study the motions of the heavenly bodies.  In this space lesson students use models to show a variety of schemes explaining the motions. 

Students should describe the path that the motion would take as well as what might begin or stop the motion. The common characteristic of all the motions that students have experienced directly is that one or more forces are acting on...

This site provides learners with information regarding anatomical terminology. It covers anatomical position, directional and regional terms used, body planes, body cavities and their organs, and the serous membranes.
