Label the Skeleton
In this skeleton worksheet, students label 26 bones of the skeletal system including bones in the appendicular skeleton and the axial skeleton.
Curated OER
Human Skeleton
In this biology instructional activity, 4th graders use a word bank of bone vocabulary to label 15 bones on the human skeleton. They read about how there are more than 200 bones in the human body.

The Skeletal System - Bones
Seventh graders identify the common bones in the human body. In this biology lesson, 7th graders research two bones assigned to them. They explain why bones are important to us.

What is the Skeletal System?
Students investigate the human skeletal system. For this biology lesson, students trace the outline of their body onto butcher paper and fill in the names of the bones. Students use an overhead transparency of the human skeletal system...

The Human Skeletal System: Inside and Out
Students study bone size, structure and shape. They use various geometrical shapes to make a skeleton and produce a poster depicting the skeletal system and its functions. They arrange the pictures into the five sections, glue on...

Protection, Support, and Locomotion
For this human body worksheet, students will review 5 terms associated with the skin by filling in the blank. Then students will read 14 statements about the human skeleton and muscles and determine if its true or false.
Curated OER
Studying Fossils
Students compare and contrast key skeletal differences between chimpanzees and humans: brain size, teeth, hand and thumb, trunk, pelvis, lower limb, foot and big toe. They then sort and group a set of mixed "fossil bones" of chimpanzee...

Study Guide-Skeletal System
In this skeletal system worksheet, high schoolers answer 16 questions about the functions of the skeletal system, the groups of bones that make up the skeletal system, the parts of the bones, the joints, the components of the bones and...

Skeletal Flash Cards
In this skeletal system worksheet, students are given 19 diagrams of different bones or parts of the skeletal system. They label all the structures of each bone or set of bones such as the skull and use the flashcards to study the parts.
Curated OER
Axial Skeleton and Fetal Skull
In this science worksheet, students identify bone groups from a given list. Students list each bone included in the axial skeleton. Students answer questions about specific bones, their location and importance.
Curated OER
Bones: The Body's Support
In this bones activity, students compare the axial and the appendicular skeletons. Students also review the bone components. This activity has 6 matching, 8 short answer, 4 fill in the blank, and 6 true or false questions.

The Human Skeletal System: Inside and Out
Students investigate the body. In this biology lesson plan, students will learn the basics of the bones in their body and about how they can be injured. Students will participate in a total of seven activities designed to improve their...
Curated OER
Broken Bones
Students listen to a lecture on broken bones. They review the proper first aid techniques and practice setting splints on one another. They observe X-rays and animal bones.
Curated OER
The Skeleton Within
Fourth graders explore the bones, joints, and other attributes of the skeletal system.
Curated OER
Flex Those Muscles
Students explore the muscular system to examine the different types of muscles in our bodies and how they work with other body systems. They discover how muscles help us chew food and laugh. Videos are used as part of this lesson.
Curated OER
Bones in Your Body
In this bone identification worksheet, students label each bone in the picture with the words provided in the word bank. Students then cut out each bone and fit them together to make a skeleton.
Curated OER
Vertebrate Skeletons
In this biology worksheet, students examine the human skeleton and then classify animal bones according to their similar function.
Curated OER
My Bones
Students integrate physical activity while studying the names of the bones in the body in a fun game form. They feel the bone in their body as the story talks about it. After doing this, they form a circle and sing the words to the...
Curated OER
Human Skeletal System
Students trace the outline of one of their members and draw in the bones from the diagram. They make flashcards of the bones out of index cards. Once the drawings and flashcards are finished, they quiz each other in preparation for a game.
Curated OER
The Skeletal System
Students research the skeletal system. In this anatomy lesson, students measure their bodies to find the approximate length of their bones. They draw and cut out each of the bones and then attach them using brads or glue.
