Skeleton ProjectDirections and Grading

Objectives

• Content Objective: Students will be able to create an accurate skeleton with all bones labeled both with their common name and medical name as well as recalling the location of various joints, functions of the skeletal system and problems of the skeletal system by completing a project.• Language Objective: Students will be able to apply

the medical and common names for each bone in the skeletal system by writing them on their project.

Skeleton project directions

• You may work alone or in a group of NO MORE than 3• Reminder: If you work in a group, participation

points can be deducted at any time that you or your group are off task so make a responsible decision with who you work with

• You will not be able to use any of your notes during class time, but you may study them after class as we will be working on this project for a couple class periods

Directions

1. You will cut out and color the bones that make up the human body.

2. After all bones are colored and cut, you will assemble the skeleton inside of a manila folder (gluing the bones to the folder in their correct anatomical position)• Prior to gluing the bones down lay them all out to make sure they all fit

and you have right and left in the correct places

3. Once all bones are laid down, you will label each of the bones with their medical and common name (if it has a common name)• In addition to labeling everything we labeled on the skeleton we completed in

class, you will need to label the teeth, false ribs, true ribs and floating ribs.

• Once all parts of your skeleton are labeled with the medical name and the common name, you will circle and label the 4 joints discussed in class (Ball & Socket, Hinge, gliding, and fixed)

Directions continued

• Once your skeleton is completely labeled, you will write (using complete sentences) the four functions of the skeletal system and one way that they demonstrate that function.• What are some examples?

• Finally, you will write in complete sentences) four problems with the skeletal system and identify what that problem means.• What are some examples from last class?

Grading

• Grading: 60 Points• 49 Points – For accurately labeling and

assembling all bones as well as circling and labeling the four types of joints.• 8 Points – For completing the four functions and

four problems bubbles in COMPLETE SENTENCES.• 3 Points – For having your name and section on

your project and for completing the project neatly.

• A checklist/rubric will be provided the last day for working on the project.
