The Skeletal System
Students identify bones off a skeleton during quizzes; assemble disarticulated skeletons; bird, frog and rat. They dissect frogs, remove the muscle tissue, and identify of bones.
Curated OER
The Human Body Lesson
Students identify features of the human body, explore needs of the human body by explaining the importance of good health in relationship to the body, and study functions and care of the human body and its organs.
Curated OER
Dynamic Duo: Bones and Muscles
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.
Curated OER
Skeletal System
Pupils identify the components and functions of the skeletal system. They identify and interpret that the skeletal system is the frame for the human body and are evaluated by their behavior and participation throughout the lesson.
Curated OER
The Skeletal System
Students identify the different parts of the skeletal system. In this biology lesson, students put together a skeleton using an interactive website. They evaluate the accuracy of their own answers.

From Human Skeletons to Owl Pellets to Paleontology
Learners explore about the function of the skeleton and comprehend the names of the bones of the human skeleton. They compare bones of the human skeleton to a dinosaur skeleton and graph to compare these bones. Students sort bones to...
Curated OER
Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Knee Joint
Students examine human anatomy with a focus on the knee joint. In groups, they research the chemical makeup of human bones and explain the different types of joints found in the body. To end the activity, they identify the other...

EXPLORING OUR HUMAN BODIES
Students observe and investigate the human skeletal and muscle systems. They become aware of the versatility of movement as well as gain experience through the use of diagrams and hands on activities. An extensive vocabulary is covered...
Curated OER
Bone Density
Pupils recognize how the strength and density of bone can reduce fractures. For this bone density lesson, students calculate density as they measure volume and mass of serial bone specimens in a group activity.
