Ten pieces that make up a human skeleton are printed on this handout. Anatomists cut them out, affix them to another sheet of paper, and then label the major bones. With this assignment, pupils review the skeletal system, and you will...

A set of 10 questions, in various styles, tests your anatomy and physiology knowledge about the workings of the musculoskeletal system. Because several of the questions pertain to bone disease and more advanced topics like synovial and...

Strengthen understanding of the musculoskeletal system with a structured lesson! Begin with a discussion of bones, joints, and muscles. Have small groups read assigned articles and watch videos to gather information and then write a...

Discuss mechanical advantage and how the human body moves/works. Learners focus on bioengineering, working together to build a functioning mechanical arm. Additionally, they analyze an air muscle, discussing its appropriate use in...

Mr. Bone-jangles has lost a few parts! Primaries can help put him back together by cutting them out from one sheet and gluing them to the correct position on his skeleton. The publisher has written a lesson plan for this activity, a...

In this body movement worksheet, students draw a chain diagram that describes the process of moving a part of the body, including the bones, muscles, joints, and the nervous system.

In this bones and joints learning exercise, students build a model of an arm with sticks, balls, and caps to see how bones and joints work. Students also answer 4 questions.

Introduce the three types of joints found in the human body. Hinge, ball and socket, and sliding joints are discussed, examined, and defined in this short, yet informative presentation. There are a few pair-share opportunities suggested...

In this muscle and skeletal system worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given clues to terms related to muscles, joints, bones and connective tissue.

How do muscles move bones? Find out using a built-in-class model. Pupils construct a hand model with paper and string, then follow a series of directions to explore the movement process. Discover additional information about the muscular...

Third graders investigate the three main types of joints in their arms and legs that are in charge of movement.  In this human biology lesson, 3rd graders view x-rays online to see how different joints look, participate in exercises...

Students gain a greater comprehension of the anatomy and physiology of the muscular system, the skeletal system and connective tissue by researching joints in the body. They also reflect on the effects of injuries on their joints and...

Third graders identify bones, muscles and joints. They explore and investigate the interaction between bones, muscles and joints, and movement of the hand or foot. To help the teacher provides a poster of the human skeleton.

Arm your young scientists with knowledge about anatomy as they build their own model of the elbow joint. Help them get a firm grasp on how muscles and bones interact to allow movement as they try different positions for the muscles on...

Students explore the human body by conducting an exercise in class. In this human anatomy lesson, students view a diagram of the human body and identify the specific bones and joints that allow us to perform specific exercises like...

Students learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students explore the inside of the human body as they compare the bones and joints of a chicken wing with their own hands and arms.

Students examine how the movements of bones are dependent on the interaction of pairs of muscles. They design and construct a prototype of an artificial limb using a syringe system, and determine whether water or air makes the appendage...

For this human body worksheet, learners 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.

Students explore the relationship between their skeletal and muscular systems, resulting in ability to name and compare types of joints and ability to demonstrate how muscles move bones.

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders define striated and identify if the muscles of chicken's leg are striated or smooth. Then they determine how the muscles of a chicken leg are attached to the bones. Students also cut muscles away...

Pupils build a model of a human arm and shoulder.

Convey the structure and function of muscles to your class with this PowerPoint. It explains how muscles are composed of bundles of cells and fibers, that there are three muscle types, and that contraction is either voluntary or...

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.

In an interdisciplinary exploration, trace the development of West Nile fever and Lyme diseases. Pupils discover how these diseases are contracted. They collect statistical data and analyze trends.
