By exploring the latest research on cell and tissue renewal your young scientists can understand the various internal body parts and systems examined in these studies.

Students follow the path of blood from its entrance into the right atrium of the heart until it leave through the aorta to the rest of the body. They study the heart's structure and how it pumps blood using the included activities. They...

Students use the Internet to research the circulatory system. They explore the different organs of the circulatory system and their functions. There are animations, online quizzes, games, and interactive tours of this system.

Students look at the functions of the body. In this biology lesson plan, students explore the functioning of some body part and construct a "living doll" composed of the body parts discussed.

Students analyze all of the body's major systems. They make diagrams of some of the systems and create their own questions.

Sixth graders take a pre-test and summarize teacher's discussion of cells, tissues, organs in their notebooks. They read selections on organisms in their textbook and perform a dissection of a chicken drumstick with the thigh attached....

In this internal systems and regulation worksheet, students correctly decide if given statements are true or false. Students apply information learned about the circulatory system to the given statements to determine statements of truth...

Students identify the different parts of the circulatory system and their function. They work together to create their own model of the system and use it to determine the rate of blood flow. They answer questions related to their model.

In this nervous system alphabet book worksheet, students study 26 neuroscience terms as they read the 26 terms and their definitions in the glossary. Some of the terms included are: receptor, unipolar, white matter, axon, hemisphere,...

Upper elementary pupils learn about the blood transportation system and anatomy of the human heart. They fill in an outline of the human heart  (not included) focusing on the flow of blood to and from the heart. Using stethoscopes,...

Students read food labels to compare healthy verses non healthy food and then use diagrams to create a poster of the digestive system. In this food lesson plan, students move the food down the digestive track along the digestive system.

Students examine the hierarchy theory and biotic organization by playing a teacher-created card game matching groups of items, such as organelles, in suits of four. They discuss the reasons for their hierarchical organization of the...

Young scholars create an "skinny student" model of their own bodies on register tape. In small groups, they record measurements of their bodies then use these measurements to build and decorate the scale models including the positions...

Students describe the digestive system and simulate what happens to food as it passes through. They use an apple, tubing and hydrochloric acid to simulate the digestive process.

First graders explore the circulatory system and its functions. They draw and label the parts of the circulatory system on traced body paper cutouts, and walk on a large chalk outline of a body, following the path of the circulatory system.

Students investigate the five senses. In this senses lesson, students explore the nervous system. Students examine how the body receives information through the five senses.

Learners explore the brain. In this science instructional activity, students create a model of the brain and discuss steps taken in order to protect the brain. Learners design a container that would protect the brain from injury....

Students identify the parts and function of a neuron. They explain and illustrate the levels and functions of the nervous system including neurons and the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems. They analyze and diagram the Lobes and...

In this skeletal system activity, students will read a graphic organizer and complete 1 short answer question about the five functions of the skeleton. Then students will use a graphic organizer about muscle types to fill in a table...

In this immune system worksheet, students identify and name treatments that are currently available for the AIDS virus. Then they discuss some potential vaccines. Students also describe how new AIDS drugs are tested.

Students explore the significance of a resting and an active heart rate. In this heart lesson students chart data on their pulse and draw a diagram of the heart.

Students perform an experiment to demonstrate the principles of antibody-antigen binding, the secondary immune response, cross reactivity, and complement fixation. The materials to be used include antibodies from a rabbit that was...

Hold a discussion in your class about the increase in mercury being found in fish that are caught commercially as food for humans. Given a worksheet, learners then calculate how much fish a person can safely eat each month to remain...

In this body systems worksheet, students will write 1 main idea and 3 details relating to the skeletal and muscular systems. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.
