Starter Activity: What do we know? Whilst I am taking the register, you have about 2 minutes with the person sitting next to you to come up with things that you know/or think you about the skeleton! GO!!!

LO – To gain knowledge and understanding of the Structure and the Functions of the skeletal system What’s included: Structure of the skeletal system Functions of the skeletal system Types of joints Movements allowed at joints P1, P2, M1

How will this be evidenced? Tasks: Design and draw a poster that describes the structure and function of the skeletal system and label a diagram of the skeleton.P1 Describe the different types of joint and the movements allowed at eachP2 Complete chart 1 so as to explain the movement occurring at a minimum of two synovial joints in the body during four different types of activity – a tumble turn in swimming, striking a football at a penalty kick, the knee lift in sprinting and the movement of the arm in a tennis serve.M1

Learning Outcomes for the lesson Pupils will be able to: Identify the major bones in the body and where they are Identify the classification of bones Explain the difference between the axial and appendicular skeleton Explain the functions of the skeleton (P1)

THE SKELETON

What do we know? What did you come up with when you were discussing what you think you know about the skeleton?

Competition This lesson is going to be a competition in groups! Questions will be asked… answers will be given! Here are your groupings: AmyRosieMegan CieranJamesJosh BillOliverHarry JayCameronHumzah

BONES – Question 1: How many bones are there in the body?

SKELETAL DIVISION – Question 2: The bones of the body are split up into two sections: AxialAppendicular One is the bones of your limbs. The other protects the vital organs and are the central bones of the body. But which is which?

The Vertebral Column cervical sacrum lumbar thoracic coccyx

THE COLUMNS – Question 3: Each of the 5 sections of the vertebral colums has a different number of disks. Try to work out (count) which section has each number. The numbers are below but in order. The numbers are below but are not in order. 5, 5, 12, 7, 4

Classification of bones There are 4 different types of bone. Long Short Flat Irregular

Long Bones Femur Tibia Fibula Humerus Ulna Radius

Long Bones – Question 4 and 5: 4. What is the longest bone in the body? 5. Where exactly is it in the body?

Flat Bones – Question 6: Sternum Ribs Cranium Scapula (Shoulder Blade) Pelvis Clavicle (Collar Bone) Which is which? Match the correct name to the bone!

Irregular Bones Vertebrae Patella Tarsals Carpals

Irregular Bones – Questions 7 and 8: 7: How many vertebrae do you have in total? 8: Where and what is your patella?

Irregular Bones– Question 9: Tarsals Which are your carpals and which are your tarsals? Carpals

Short Bones Metatarsals Metacarpals Phalanges

Functions of the skeleton Blood Production Help make blood because they produce red cells, white cells and platelets in the marrow Movement Allows movement, when the muscles contract they pull on the bones Protection Some bones protect vital organs. Question 10: Shape The skeleton gives the body its form. Support It supports the body in a vertical position.

Protection – Question 10: Name a bone and the major organs that they protect. Give an example of a sporting action that uses this bone/these bones.

Label the Skeleton You now need to fill in and label the skeleton sheet you have just been given. When that is done you need to shade in the appendicular skeleton blue and the axial skeleton red. ScapulaSternumFibulaPatellaRibs TibiaSkullHumerusRadiusPelvis UlnaFemurClavicleVertebral column
