Sense Organs, Write the Names

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 human body parts?" Then let them work through it independently after a quick group example, checking in with a partner if they get stuck, 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 human body parts 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.

Write the sense organ and the sense for five pictures, such as eye and sight. Your senses tell you about the world around you. A sense organ is the body part you use for a sense. The directions on the page read: Look at each picture. Then, write its sense organ and sense from the word bank. The answer key shows every answer.

Yes, both. We made it for 2nd 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 human body parts. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Students learn to name external body parts and locate the major internal organs, matching each one to its job. At ages 7-8, children can also start grouping parts by function, for example the parts used for breathing or the parts used for moving.

Body parts open most Grade 2 human body units and lead directly into lessons on organ systems, bones, and healthy choices. The topic revisits simpler Kindergarten naming work and adds function and internal anatomy.

Have your child lie on a large sheet of paper while you trace their outline, then let them draw and label the organs inside. Feeling their own heartbeat and ribs while they work makes the labels stick far better than a diagram alone.

3 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 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 7-8. 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.
