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
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.

Skeletal System
Young scholars discuss the need for humans to have a skeletal system and what would happen if we did not have bones. In this skeletal system lesson plan, students label each bone in the human skeletal system as a group, and then...
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.

Name that Bone
Students name the bones in the skeletal system according to the layman and medical terms of each of the predetermined bones.
Curated OER
Skeletal, Skin, and Muscular Systems
Eighth graders explain the functions of various body systems. Using a concept map, 8th graders identify and explain the fuctions of the skeletal, skin, and muscular systems of the body. After completing their concept map, students...

Biomechanics of Sports
Students examine the body's major organ systems and how they function and influence each other. They examine how the human body moves when involved in sports.
Curated OER
The Inside Story of Muscles, Bones and Exercise
First graders explore how they can help their muscles and bones grow strong through the use of physical activity.
Curated OER
Bones
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...
