Starter Activity:What do we know?

Whilst I am taking the register, you have about 2 minutes with the person sitting next to you to come up with things that you know/or think you about the skeleton!

GO!!!

LO – To gain knowledge and understanding of the Structure and the

Functions of the skeletal system

What’s included: Structure of the skeletal system Functions of the skeletal system Types of joints Movements allowed at joints

P1, P2, M1

How will this be evidenced?

Tasks:Design and draw a poster that describes the structure and function of the skeletal system and label a diagram of the skeleton. P1

Describe the different types of joint and the movements allowed at each P2

Complete chart 1 so as to explain the movement occurring at a minimum of two synovial joints in the body during four different types of activity – a tumble turn in swimming, striking a football at a penalty kick, the knee lift in sprinting and the movement of the arm in a tennis serve.

Learning Outcomes for the lesson

Pupils will be able to: Identify the major bones in the body

and where they are Identify the classification of bones Explain the difference between the

axial and appendicular skeleton Explain the functions of the skeleton

Irregular Bones – Questions 7 and 8:

7: How many vertebrae do you have in total?

8: Where and what is your patella?

Irregular Bones– Question 9:

Tarsals

Which are your carpals and which are your tarsals?

Carpals

Short Bones

Metatarsals

Metacarpals

Phalanges

Functions of the skeleton

Blood Production

Help make blood because they produce red cells, white cells and platelets in the marrow

Movement Allows movement, when the muscles contract they pull on the bones

Protection Some bones protect vital organs. Question 10:

Shape The skeleton gives the body its form.

Support It supports the body in a vertical position.

Protection – Question 10:

Name a bone and the major organs that they protect.

Give an example of a sporting action that uses this bone/these bones.

Label the Skeleton

You now need to fill in and label the skeleton sheet you have just been given.

When that is done you need to shade in the appendicular skeleton blue and the axial

skeleton red.Scapula Sternum Fibula Patella
