In this biology worksheet, middle schoolers look for the words that are related to the theme of the sheet in the word search. They also work on spelling skills for the quiz words.

Students calculate the ratio of the height of the body to the height of the navel. They discover that the ratios are all approximately equal.

In this science worksheet, 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 and anatomy.

Coloring pages showcase microbes—bacteria, viruses, and protists. Scholars have the option to download a coloring book and scavenger hunt or color the page directly on the computer. Three paragraphs describe each microbe. 

Complete a unit of lessons on hearing and sound. Learners conduct sound experiments, research the history of the telephone and scientific contributions of Alexander Graham Bell, and create a model of the human ear.
