Before the Lesson/ Background
Information
The Lesson
Part 1: Osteology and Anatomy Models (60
mins)
- Divide the students into five groups, one for each system of the body.
- Referencing the skeletal system diagram, the skeletal system group
should work together to build a complete skeleton using the Xrays.
They can tape them to the wall. Using stickies, students will label
the different bones.
- Each of the other groups will build an anatomical model using the
craft items, working back and forth with the charts, focusing on their
particular system.
- Next, each group will present to the class on the parts of their
system and how it works.
- Display the various models on the class wall.
Homework:
Students will work on their reading and book
report.
Assign reading from from Cells, Tissues, and Skin.
