Curated OER
Moving and Growing: Joints
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...
Curated OER
Moving Around
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...
Curated OER
Human Machine
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...
Curated OER
The Skeletal System
Students research the skeletal system. For 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.
Curated OER
Skeleton
Learners study the skeleton. In this human body lesson plan, students draw and label bones in the body by tracing each other and creating a skeleton out of body parts and brass fastners.
Curated OER
Joints Help Us Move
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 that...
Curated OER
Study Guide-Skeletal System
In this skeletal system worksheet, students 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 the...
Curated OER
Skeletal and Muscular System
In this muscle and skeletal system instructional activity, students complete a crossword puzzle given clues to terms related to muscles, joints, bones and connective tissue.
Curated OER
The Muscle System
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...
Curated OER
Bone and Joint
In this health instructional activity, middle schoolers find the words that are found relating to bones and joints. The answers are found at the bottom of the page.
Curated OER
Self Acceptance
Students develop confidence about themselves. Students imagine they are a rubber ball and think about how strong they are inside themselves. They read a story about an elephant and a lion and reflect on questions provided. Finally,...
Curated OER
Fracture Fundamentals: A Cheesy Analog
Students make small cuts (fracture nuclei) in processed cheese food and then apply stresses perpendicular or parallel to the cuts to see how fractures grow. They make predictions before each experiment and explain their results to the...
Curated OER
The Leg Bone is Connected To The.... (a Look At the Skeletal System)
Students study the components of the skeletal system naming the bone groups that make up the appendicular and axial skeletal systems. They name the different layers of bone and the types of joints. They create an animated skeleton.
