Seventh graders experiment with their pulse rate. They investigate a beef heart and locate the route of blood flow and the chambers and discuss the function of each chamber. They discuss the circulatory system and compare theirs to the...

Learners list and describe the purpose/function of blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries). They explain how blood flows through the body, and the role of physical activity and how it strengthens the heart.

Students explore ways in which food provides energy and materials for our bodies.

Fifth graders answer a fictitious question asked by their school principal. After reading the question together, they write an appropriate response and show her what they have gathered about the circulatory system. They type their letter...

For this digestive system worksheet, 3rd graders use a word bank given to label parts of the digestive system. An answer key and website reference for additional resources are given.

Students study the five major body system in this unit. They examine how to keep themselves healthy.

Fourth graders study the parts of the human circulatory system and how they function. They design a flow chart of the circulatory system and use data to construct charts and graphs.

In this food and digestion instructional activity, students fill in the table for each food group. Students also complete a diagram illustrating the digestive system.

Students extend their knowledge of the endocrine system through in depth examination utilizing the technology of video. They play a game where they have to identify a variety of glands once they're given clues.

Students experience how the brain adapts over time to changes in what they perceive. In this human perception lesson plan, students wear special prism goggles that initially disorient the user. Over time, the student is able to adjust to...

Students examine antigens including ones found in humans.  In this immune lesson students complete several experiments in relation to antigens and antibodies.

Students explain how the components of a cell operate as a system. Students examine a bicycle and find out if parts were arranged differently, could the system still be carried out. They look at cells as well and see what function they...

Students study the geologic history of terrain, soils, and drainage patterns. They recognize ecological processes that determine the dynamic nature of habitats. They investigate the influence of human activity on the landscape.

Learners are introduced to the Munsell System of Color Notation that is used for direct comparison of soils anywhere in the world. They become familiar with hue, value and chroma notations, identify colors that act as clues to the...

Conduct guided experiments and discussions while collecting anthropometric measurements. Your class will explore impact of experimental errors in a scientific system, and explain their observations/findings in writing. An introduction to...

Discover how copying nature can be beneficial to humans. Scholars read articles about examples of biomimicry and its potential applications. Along the way, they learn about Nature's Nine Laws and how they relate to biomimicry. This is...

This is your brain on drugs ... literally! Your neuroscientists-in-training examine the evidence of drug use on the human brain and how neurons change their connectivity when altered by drugs. They then work together to create testing...

In this science learning exercise, students analyze 22 words in a word bank and then locate them in a word search puzzle. It is unclear who Mrs. T is and what the subject is but the words appear to be related to the human body systems...

Create a neuron frenzy as your pupils play the part of the neurons. An engaging lesson plan creates a human chain of neurons that pass cotton balls posing as neurotransmitters. Scholars learn about pre- and post-synapses as they...

So, this is not technically a worksheet, but rather a chapter of reading material, pictures, and diagrams introducing young biologists to the cell. Cell theory, diversity, size, and shape are described. The internal organization and...
