Skeletal System Lesson 2 Introduction Continued
Objectives Content Objective: The students will be able to compare and contrast the characteristics of various bones, by touching them, in order to determine which bone is located where on their body; demonstrated both through a class discussion and on a worksheet. Language Objective: The students will be able to dictate the medical names for the bones, using the powerpoint as reference, while discussing where each bone belongs in the body with a partner and with the class, identified through teacher observation.
Bone Activity This activity will be completed with your small group or individually. Directions : 1. Each person will fill out their own worksheet. 2. Each small group/individual will receive a broken skeleton to reconstruct. 3. Look at the shape and characteristics of each of the bones. Discuss the characteristics with your group in order to determine where each bone is positioned in your body. Try to feel the shape of the bones in your body to compare. 4. On your worksheet, draw each individual bone, write it’s medical name and the common name along with 3 characteristics that separate it from the other bones.. Examples: Rounded at the end to fit into a joint 5. When you think you have successfully reconstructed the skeleton, see if you can place the medical name with the correct bone. When you Finish : 1. Discuss ways to remember the medical names that you had a difficult time identifying Grading : points for completing all parts of the worksheet 2. Participation points for remaining on task in your group
Directions for Today Find a space in the room to meet with your group from last class. You may use the floor or the desks to work. ALL GROUPS… Layout your skeleton again. Place the medical names next to each bone. IF NOT FINISHED... Continue discussing with your group where each medical name belongs. Finish the chart worksheet. This worksheet will be due at the end of class for 24 points. IF FINISHED… You and your group will try to come up with strategies to remember the location and medical names for the bones that you did not know. (ex. Radius is thumb side because you use your thumb to change the radio.) WHEN FINISHED MEMORY STRATEGIES… Find another finished group to compare characteristics, medical names, common names and memory strategies. Add any characteristics to your sheet that you feel are good descriptors that you did not have. Discuss reasoning for why you identified each bone with the medical name you chose.
Locations with More than One Medical Name Head 3 Names – Includes Upper Jaw and Lower Jaw Ribs 2 Names – Ribs and Breastbone Back 3 Names – Upper, Middle and Lower Pelvis 3 Names – Fused section, Tailbone and Pelvis Foot 4 Names – Toes, Middle Toes, Ankle and Heel Hand 3 Names – Fingers, Middle, and Wrist
Class Discussion What bone (using the medical name) do you think this is? What characteristic made you believe it was this bone? Did you use previous knowledge to make the connection? What is a method that can help you memorize it’s medical name?

Closure Questions Self-asses – Which bone(s) do you think you will have a difficult time remembering their location? Can you create a way to remember them? Self-asses – Which bone(s) do you think will be difficult to remember the name(s) of? Can you create a way to remember?
