Young biologists piece together the puzzle of the human body with this simple anatomy worksheet. Presented with a picture of the human skeleton, students are challenged with the task of correctly identifying the 27...

Learners will love a weeks worth of bone study. They use bones and characteristics of bones to explore the evolution of hominoids. Bones are compared, categorized, and considered. A great way to bring physical anthropology and material...

Comparative anatomy prevails in the lesson exploring diversity among invertebrates. Biologists examine physical characteristics of an earthworm from phylum annelida and a meal worm from phylum insecta. They also inspect a cricket and a...

Fifteen multiple choice questions review a variety of biology topics. In game-show fashion, viewers answer questions about a plant's needs, the skeletal system, and the cardiovascular system. If you happen to teach these three topics...

Make no bones about it- this anatomy worksheet is all about the human skeleton! Learners read a 2-page informational excerpt on bones and then use the information they learned to answer 9 recall questions, including 4 multiple-choice and...

Young scholars investigate the muscle system operating in the kick of a ball. The order in which the six muscle groups contract is noted as the movement is produced by the contraction of opposing muscles required to move a limb in...

Seventh graders identify and label twenty-five bones of the skeletal system. In small groups they glue various types of dried pasta to a large human body outline. They attach the pasta to the outline and label the pasta bones.

Students explore the function of bone, muscle, and skin. Pasta and rubber bands are used to model how minerals and collagen contribute to bone strength. The effects of the reduction of these substances are explored in chicken bones.

Learners explore data on the bone, muscle, and skin of living systems and then create a list of characteristics of these systems and relate these characteristics to bone, muscle, and skin.

Students explore a variety of factors that affect the health of the bone, muscle, and skin systems. Healthy lifestyle recommendations which include behaviors over which we have control are explored in this lesson.

Students explore the effects of diet and weight-bearing activities on bone mineral content. The influence of playing a variety of sports with different weight-loading levels is examined.

Young scholars describe the functions of bones in the human body. They describe the make up of a bone. They engage in a series of wonderful hands-on activitiies that reinforce learning of bones and the skeletal system.

In this skeletons worksheet, students look at 7 animals and choose which of the following skeletons they have: an internal skeleton, an external skeleton or no skeleton at all. Students draw lines from each choice to each animal.

In this musculoskeletal system worksheet, students review the function of bones and muscles in this body system. Students also review the different types of muscles: smooth, skeletal, and cardiac. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank...

In this biology learning exercise, students examine the bones that are part of the skeletal system of the rat. The bones can be compared for differences in structure.

Pupils 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 song...

Students listen to the song "Bone Song" as they enter the class. They identify the bones in the human body. Students are given the topic: Do body systems work together? Give an example. They work in groups of two and study the bones...

Learners discuss what type of information they can gather from bones. In groups, they travel between stations in which they can view photos and listen to actual accounts of finding bones. They focus on the tools available to Native...

Third graders recognize the bones that make up the human body. They become more aware of the human body. Students experiment with this concept with a variety of items. They also work on this concept with dribbling a ball.

Students engage in an activity in order to review the skeletal system. They play a game composed of two teams to be played in an open area. Students pick out bones from a bag and place them in the correct space for the skeleton.

Pupils study the skeleton, about the number of and types of bones in the body, and how outer space affects astronauts' bones. They discover how to take care of their bones here on Earth to prevent osteoporosis, or, weakening of the...

Students analyze and measure parts of a model skeleton to determine sex, race, height and age. They produce a lab report from their inquiries.

First graders explore how they can help their muscles and bones grow strong through the use of physical activity.

Students discover the names of 13 major bones in the human skeletal system. They construct their skeleton using paper plates and other simple products. Links to templates are provided within the resource.
