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 research major organs the skeletal system of the human body. They identify the function of the human skeleton and organ systems and then create a life-sized outline of their bodies and draw the skeletal system and major organs...

Students study the skeleton. In this human body instructional activity, students draw and label bones in the body by tracing each other and creating a skeleton out of body parts and brass fastners.

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.

Young scholars investigate the human skeletal system. In this biology lesson, students trace the outline of their body onto butcher paper and fill in the names of the bones. Young scholars use an overhead transparency of the human...
