In my school, 2nd grade and 5th grade have units on the human body. To satisfy their different maturities, I’ve developed two lists of websites to complement this inquiry. I put them on the class internet start page so when students have free time, they can visit:
2nd -3rd Grade
- Blood Flow
- Body Systems
- Build a Skeleton
- Can you place these parts in the correct place?
- Choose the systems you want to see.
- Find My Body Parts
- How the Body Works
- Human Body Games
- Human Body websites
- Human Body—by a 2nd grade class—video
- Human Body—videos on how body parts work
- Inside the Human Body: Grades 1-3
- Kids’ Health-My Body
- Matching Senses
- Muscles Game
- Nutrition Music and Games from Dole
- Senses Challenge
- Google Human Body
- Weird stuff your body does
4th-5th Grade
- Brain’s Secret Life
- Choose a System and Learn About it
- ESkeltons.org
- Google Human Body
- The heart
- Human body—explore it
- Human Body—Fast Facts
- Human Body websites
- Inside the Human Body: Grades 4-6
- Neuroscience for Kids
- Virtual Body
- Virtual Knee Surgery
Do you have any others to add? I’d love to hear them.

Please check out Virtual human Body from QA International for this story. QA International (QAI) http://www.qa-international.com/ has announced that its Virtual Human Body App (available on iPad since last December) has been optimized for viewing on iPhone and iPod touch, including support for the new 4″ Retina display on iPhone 5. The application allows you to explore the human anatomy from head to toe and from skin to bones with a lifelike 3D human model combined with an anatomical dictionary. Whether you’re a student, parent, teacher, healthcare professional or simply curious, the Virtual Human Body invites users to explore and learn about the mechanics at play within the human body. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/virtual-human-body/id470890348?mt=8
