Human Body Organ Systems Activity: Major Discoveries Timeline

EASY – JUST PRINT, CUT & ASSEMBLE!  Everything you need is included for students to create a Human Body Organ Systems Discoveries Timeline project or bulletin board with 25 entries dating from BCE through 2016. The only supplies necessary are regular copier paper, glue, and colored pencils. Supports NGSS MS-LS1-3.

TWO VERSIONS are provided. Version One requires students to research 25 discoveries (specific prompts provided) and Version Two gives them 25 pre-made informational cards about specific discoveries. Great for differentiation!

Here’s the Process for Students:

• Tape or glue together the provided timeline templates (5 – 8.5″x11″ sheets).
• Color code the 25 discovery information boxes according to the era of discovery.
• Attach discovery boxes to the timeline.
• Enter the dates.
• Add pictures (provided) to each of the entries.

What’s Included:

• 25 Discovery information research boxes for students to complete (Version One)
• 25 Pre-made discovery information boxes (Version Two)
• 25 Human body systems pictures
• Printable timeline template
• Student instructions
• Teacher tips

Teacher Notes:

• This project works well when assigned as a paired project.
• As printed (5 8.5″x11″ pages), this timeline is more than 1 meter long, so it also makes a great bulletin board.
• NO COLOR PRINTING IS REQUIRED! The pictures look better in color, but print fine in black and white.
• Please note: This resource is NOT editable.
• Our Human Body Systems ACTIVITIES BUNDLE has lots more fun stuff to do!
• You can also shop our TPT store!
