The Skeletal System Lab Bundle: Unit Plan, Joint Analysis Lab & Lab Quiz Bundle

This bundle contains three of my most popular items. My students love doing the lab activities in this unit. The lab quiz is especially effective at assessing how well students mastered the learning objectives. Enjoy!

The Lab:

In this fun, engaging lab student will: Complete and analyze each of the three movements listed: bicep curl, standing squat, and jumping jack using the terms below:

• Starting Position Terms: flexed, extended, neutral position, hyperextended, pronated, supinated, abducted, adducted, inverted, everted
• Joint Action Terms: extension, flexion, abduction, adduction, pronation, supination, inversion, eversion, hyperextension, stabilizer
• Planes: sagital, frontal, transverse
• Functional Classifications of Joints: synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, diarthsosis
• Structural Classification of Joints: fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
• Diarthsosis joint types (shapes): hinge, condyloid, saddle, ball & socket, pivot, plane
• Further classify diarthrotic joints by shape under functional classification

The Unit Plan

Make teaching Anatomy & Physiology easy with this combined unit and daily lesson plan that covers 12 blocks or 22 periods of a secondary A & P course. SIOP, gifted, and differentiation strategies are embedded and easily identified throughout. Lessons are differentiated according to learning style, grouping, and language ability. Both content and literacy standards as well as key vocabulary words, essential questions, activating strategies, instructional strategies, and summarizing strategies are included and highlighted. Video links are provided! (Please note that video links are active but may requires access to United Streaming and/or that you be logged into your google account)

Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:

Content Standards:

SAP2: Students will analyze the interdependence of the integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems as these relate the protection, support and movement of the human body.

• Explain how the skeletal structures provide support and protection for tissues, and function together with the muscular system to make movements possible.

SCSh2. Students will use standard safety practices for all classroom laboratory investigations and activities.

• Follow correct procedures for use of scientific apparatus and demonstrate appropriate technique in all laboratory situations.
• Follow correct protocol for identifying and reporting safety problems and violations.

Literacy Standards:

• L11-12RST2: Determine the central ideas of conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paragraphing them in simpler but still accurate terms.
• L11-12RST3: Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments…

Content Objectives (TSWBAT):

1. Distinguish between the axial and appendicular skeletons.
2. Discuss the major functions of the skeletal system and bone in particular.
3. Classify bones according to shape (4).
4. Identify the major anatomical areas of a long bone.
5. Describe the microscopic structure of long bone.
6. Explain the role of bone salts and organic matrix in making bone both hard and flexible.
7. Describe the process of bone formation in the fetus and summarize the vents of bone remodeling throughout life.
8. Distinguish between types of bone fractures.
9. Identify and name the bones of the skull and the four major skull sutures.
10. Describe how the skull of a newborn infant or fetus differs from that of an adult and explain the function of fontanels.
11. Describe the structure of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae and differentiate between them.
12. Discuss the function of intervertebral discs and spinal curvatures (scoliosis, lordosis, and kyphosis).
13. Name the components of the thoracic cage and differentiate between true and false ribs.
14. Identify the bones of the appendicular skeleton.
15. Describe the differences between a male and female pelvis.
16. Classify joints according to structure and function.
17. Identify risk factors, treatments, and preventive measures of common bone disorders.
18. Describe major changes in skeletal development at fetal, infant, youth, and adult stages of life.
