Parts of the Body

Start with something students can look at or think about: a photo, a short video, a jar on the windowsill, or a question like "what do you already know about body systems?" Then let them work through the first item together as a class, then finish the rest independently or with a partner, keeping a word bank or anchor chart in view so the vocabulary stays available. When you review, ask students how they knew, and let them point to the part of the diagram or reading that told them. These body systems worksheets work well as a lead in before an investigation, as a way to capture what students noticed afterward, or as review before an assessment.

These body systems worksheets for 1st grade give students a clear, visual way to work through one of the big ideas in our bodies. Students label diagrams, sort and classify examples, read short explanations, and answer questions that ask them to say why, not just what. Each page keeps the science vocabulary front and center so students leave with the words they need to talk about body systems accurately. Working through body systems on paper gives 1st grade students something concrete to hold onto before, during, or after the hands on part of a lesson.

Yes, both. We made it for 1st Grade our bodies, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with body systems. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Head, eye, ear, nose, mouth, arm, hand, leg and foot. Nine labels with a word bank, each on a line pointing at the right place on the figure.

This one covers the whole body, including arm, hand, leg and foot. Parts of the Face zooms in and adds the finer words like eyebrow, eyelid, lips and tongue.

For most first graders yes. It turns the task into reading and matching rather than spelling, which keeps the science in front and the writing manageable.

First graders are introduced to the major body systems at a basic level, learning that the body is made up of different parts that each have a special job. They explore the skeletal system for support, the muscular system for movement, and the digestive system for processing food. This early exposure builds science vocabulary and curiosity about how the human body works.

Body systems are typically introduced during a Grade 1 unit on the human body or our bodies, often in the fall. The content is kept simple and visual, using diagrams and matching activities to make internal systems feel accessible to young learners.

Ask your child to flex a muscle, feel their heartbeat, or take a deep breath and then connect those experiences to the body system being studied. Worksheets with simple diagrams and labeling activities work well at the kitchen table. Following up with an age-appropriate body systems book from the library extends the learning.

8 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 1st Grade students, roughly ages 6-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the NGSS code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
