This activity aims to deepen your understanding of the human skeletal and muscular systems, focusing on their structure, function, and interrelationships. You will research, analyze and creatively represent your findings.
Part 1: Investigation (2 pages)
Choose a system: select either the skeletal or muscular systems for your investigation.
Identify key components:
- Skeletal system:
Describe at least three major human body bones (e.g., femur, skull, rib).
Illustrate the bones with diagrams or pictures.
Explain their functions (e.g., support, protection, movement). - Muscular system:
Describe at least three major muscles (e.g., biceps brachii, quadriceps, diaphragm).
Illustrate the muscles with diagrams or pictures.
Explain their functions (e.g., movement, stability, heat production).
Part 2: Analysis (1 page)
Impact of Changes: Analyze how human activities (such as poor diet, lack of exercise, or injury) might affect the skeletal and muscular systems.
Discuss possible consequences for health and mobility.
Reflect on how maintaining a healthy lifestyle can support these systems.
Part 3: Creative component (optional and peers)
Design your diagram: create a diagram illustrating the interconnections between bones and muscles in a specific movement (e.g., bending the arm or walking).
Label the bones and muscles involved.
Show how they work together to facilitate movement.
Reflective paragraph: Write a short paragraph reflecting on what you learned about the importance of bones and muscles to overall health and mobility.
Presentation guidelines
Present your findings in a written report (2-3 pages) or presentation (5-7 slides).
Use clear headings and visuals to enhance comprehension.
Be prepared to share your work with the class and discuss your ideas.
