From our teachers' playbook

Bones, muscles and amazing bodies

What do kids learn about anatomy?

Anatomy is the study of how living things are built. Young kids start with body parts and the five senses. As they grow, they learn about body systems: the skeleton that holds us up, muscles that move us, the skin that protects us, the heart and lungs that keep us going. They compare animal bodies and learn how body parts help animals survive. Upper elementary students meet cells, the tiny building blocks of every living thing. The click is when a kid flexes and says, "My biceps just pulled on my bone!"

Our favorite ways to teach anatomy

Our bodies are the best science lab there is. These moves make anatomy hands-on.

Label it

Give kids a skeleton diagram and have them feel for each bone on their own body before labeling it. Skull, ribs, femur! Matching the picture to their own body makes the words stick.

Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Compare cells

Upper grades can draw and label plant and animal cells side by side. Ask: what's in both? What's only in plants? Building the comparison helps kids remember the parts and their jobs.

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Questions parents and teachers ask

What anatomy do elementary students learn?

Younger students learn body parts and the five senses. Older students learn body systems like the skeletal, muscular and circulatory systems, and in upper grades, cells.

How many bones are in the human body?

An adult has 206 bones. Babies are born with more, and some fuse together as they grow.

How do I teach body systems to kids?

Connect each system to something kids can feel: a heartbeat, breathing, flexing a muscle. Use diagrams, labeling and simple models.

What's the difference between anatomy and physiology?

Anatomy is about the structure, the parts and where they are. Physiology is about how those parts work. Elementary science usually mixes both.
