Section outline

  • Learning Outcome:

    We will continue to look at MRS GREN: MOVEMENT 

    The Skeletal System has three main jobs:  structure and support of the body,  required for movement and protects our organs 

    The bones cannot move without the help of muscles. Where bones connect is called a joint, which is supported by tendons and muscles.  There are different joints depending on how your bone needs to move.  For example, you elbow bending is a different movement to your shoulder rolling.  If you are looking for extension work (not required): compare the common joints (ball and socket, hinge, pivot, saddle, gliding)


    Success Criteria:

    1) Label the bones in the body

    2) Explain how bones and muscles work together so living things can move


    Activities:

    1) Google Hangout (Monday at 10 am):  Practicing the names of bones -- Simon Says with bones, Bone kahoot 

    2) At home activity: Making a joint to see how bones and muscles work together so we can move 

    3) Google Hangout (Wednesday at 9 am) -- Online discussion about science assessment for MRS GREN

    • How to make a joint (where bones and muscles join) File

      Hopefully these instructions are clear for you.

      You can use any cardboard but one from a cereal box would work.  If you don't have a split pin, use a paperclip instead. :)
