Studying and learning about bones is essential for middle and high school students because it helps them understand how the human body is structured and functions. By recognizing how bones support movement, protect organs, and facilitate growth, students can develop healthy habits and better awareness of injury prevention. Additionally, learning about the skeletal system can spark an interest in health sciences and careers like medicine, sports training, and physical therapy. With this in mind, let’s engage with this excellent learning resource!
This bones article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can help your students learn all about bones. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In this bones article with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking.
For many educational standards, a base level of content knowledge is needed around the relevant topics, this mangroves article covers that foundational knowledge for the NGSS: MS-LS1-3 / HS-LS1-2

The Skeleton | Focus Unit Bundle | 4 Activity Set | Health | Physical Education
Imagine handing your class a vibrant, ready-to-go skeleton science bundle that does the heavy lifting for you: it starts with an engaging reading-comprehension passage (paired with informative questions) that hits literacy standards while sneaking in core biology, then pivots to a plug-and-play research-project template that turns every student into a mini-scientist investigating topics from bone breaks to bone structure; layer in a critical-thinking framework that walks them through claim-evidence-reasoning so they can separate solid science from skeletal system myths; and finish with two crowd-pleasing activities - one set of 10 strange-but-true facts that make jaws drop (a shin bone in theory could support a literal ton of weight) and a fast-paced Two Truths and a Lie game that doubles as an instant formative check. So... The result? Higher engagement, seamless cross-curricular coverage (ELA, STEM, and health), authentic research practice, and students who leave your room not just knowing what a bone fracture is but why how it happens and how it heals matter—sparking lifelong skeleton awareness while you effortlessly meet standards and look like a curriculum rock star. With this in mind, let's engage with this excellent learning and teaching resource. This is a focus unit, the idea is to tackle this topic - skeletal system science - in a short, sharp and effective focus which I am calling a focus unit. Since the topic is not big enough to warrant a full unit dedicated to it only. This skeleton research project template (webquest) provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can help your students learn all about the skeleton. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In this skeleton research project template (webquest) with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. It gives a rich and supportive framework that can be tweaked as needed for students to support differentiation. This skeleton research project template includes: * Space for a one paragraph summary (that links to the 2 page science article also available on this topic - but does not have to). * Students should produce a mathematical connection, an engineering / technology connection, 2 interesting facts / stats. * 5 glossary terms they should fill in with their own words (which also links to the science article also available) * 3 thought provoking questions (ie: critical thinking questions) they must answer. * Finally, each template has 3 alternative thought provoking questions for younger students and 3 other alternative harder questions to extend high flying or older students. Giving you a total of 9 possible thought provoking questions that could be used with students to enhance their research and critical thinking. * Further, I have added a 1 page - 20 point rubric to be used for either self-assessment or teacher assessment as you deem fit. I hope it helps support the learning even further! The set of resources are some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you.
