  1. Unit 5 The Musculoskeletal System

  2. Essential Questions • What are the functions of the musculoskeltal system? • What are the main bones of our body, what muscles attach to them, and what movements do they do? • How do joints allow movement? • What are some common sports injuries, and how can a rehab program be developed for them?

  3. Day 1: The Skeletal System • Required Readings: • Chapter 6 • Learning Objectives: • Describe the basic functions of the skeletal system • Describe the structure of the different types of bones • Identify major bones of the skeletal system

  4. Starter • Do you agree or disagree with the following statements? • An adult has 206 bones • Bones produce blood • People are born with all their bones • Osteoporosis is caused by falling down • A bone cell is called an osteoblast • Bones help protect your inner organs • Time: 10 minutes

  5. Activity 1 • The skeletal system performs 5 major functions: • Support • Protection • Attachment sites for skeletal muscles • Blood cell production • Mineral storage • With your group, act out the 5 functions and take photos while doing it. You’ll make a slide show to present at the beginning of next class • Time: 30 minutes

  6. Activity 2 • With your group, try to label the bones you have been given on the skeletal system diagram • Don’t use your book! • Time: 10 minutes

  7. Activity 3 • As a class, we will construct a skeleton from the x-rays and label the main bones • Time: 15 minutes

  8. Activity 4 • Create a song with actions with your group to point out the locations of the following bones: • Skull • Sternum, clavicle, scapula, ribs • Humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges • Vertebral column, sacrum, coccyx, pelvis • Femur, tibia, fibula, patella, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges • Time: 15 minutes

  9. Closing • What are the 5 functions of the skeletal system? • Point out 5 bones to a person in your group

  10. Day 2: The Skeletal System • Required Readings: • Chapter 6 • Learning Objectives: • Describe the basic functions of the skeletal system • Describe the structure of the different types of bones • Identify major bones of the skeletal system

  11. Starter – So what are the answers? • Do you agree or disagree with the following statements? • An adult has 206 bones • Bones produce blood • People are born with all their bones • Osteoporosis is caused by falling down • A bone cell is called an osteoblast • Bones help protect your inner organs • Time: 5 minutes

  12. Activity 1 • Get your slide show ready to show to the class • Hand in your song about the bones • Optional! Present to the class! • Time: 15 minutes

  13. Activity 2 • There are 4 types of bones: • Long, Short, Irregular, flat • For each of the bones we looked at last lesson, classify them as one of the above • Skull • Sternum, clavicle, scapula, ribs • Humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges • Vertebral column, sacrum, coccyx, pelvis • Femur, tibia, fibula, patella, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges • Time: 15 minutes

  14. Activity 3 • How do bones heal? • Read through the article “How do broken bones heal?” • With your group, use this information to show how Humpty Dumpty could have been put back together if all the King’s men knew what you do now • Look at the x-rays showing broken bones to help you • Time: 20 minutes

  15. Activity 4 • Create a “pasta man/woman” out of the pasta provided • Include all the main bones we looked at last lesson • Skull • Sternum, clavicle, scapula, ribs • Humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges • Vertebral column, sacrum, coccyx, pelvis • Femur, tibia, fibula, patella, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges • Decide what type of pasta to use for the type of bone it is • Time: 30 minutes

  16. Closing • Share your diagrams with the rest of the class • Any questions or feedback to the other groups?

  17. Day 3: Joints • Required Readings: • Chapter 6 • Learning Objectives: • Compare immovable, slightly movable, and freely movable joints

  18. Starter • Complete the table: • When finished, get your slide show ready to present to the class • Time: 10 minutes

  19. Activity 1 • Video: Musculoskeletal system • As you watch the video, make note of the functions and structures of the muscular and skeletal systems • Write down any questions you have that the video did not answer for you • Time: 20 minutes

  20. Activity 2 • Complete the “movable joints charades” activity sheet • The actions are on cue cards throughout the room • It is possible to have more than one answer, different groups may interpret the movement differently than other groups • Time: 20 minutes

  21. Activity 3 • Look around the classroom (and school if necessary) and take pictures of objects that act like the following joints: • Gliding, hinge, saddle, pivot, ball and socket, condyloid • Create a word document with a table as follows: • Time: 30 minutes

  22. Closing • What are the different joints in our body? • What movement do the joints do? • Give an example, and what bones are involved.
