Creation of the model

Bibliography

What do we have to achieve during this unit?

Objectives

• To understand how our body is composed
• To translate understanding into the creation of a model
• To make relations between our body and learnt contents at class
• To discover the different functions and parts of each system
• To learn about different illnesses and how to prevent them
• To be able to have an integrated vision of our body

How are we going to succeed?

• Watching some videos and completing different related tasks
• Doing some individual activities
• Working with peers

Humans have got an internal skeleton, which is made of 206 different bones!!

1. MusCuloskeletal system

It is composed of many bones and muscles

It supports the body and protects the organs.​

It lets you move your body parts and go from one place to another.

1.2. FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON

1.2. FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON

2. It protects the body’s soft organs, like the brain and eyes, the lungs, the heart and the spinal cord
3. Movement, because the bones are connected to the muscles

1.3. FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM

1.3. FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM

1. Production of blood cells
2. Support
3. Movement
4. Protection
5. Storage of minerals
6. Endocrine regulation

GAME TIME!

Ok, little scientist, now we are going to learn some important bones that we have in our body. but first, I want you to play some games and see how many of them you know...

Once you have finished, please, call me and I'll come to see your score.

1.3. BONES

Different shapes and forms

Long

short

Irregular

1.4. JOINTS

There are 3 types

Joints are places where two or more bones are connected.

Fixed: they can't move

Semi-moveable: they can move a l ittle (vertebrae)

Moveable: they can move a lot (elbows, knees, shloulders)

INFO

Let's revise the skeleton and the most important bones

GAME TIME!

Ok, little scientist, up to this point, you should know some more bones of the skeleton. Play again, and let's see how many do you know now.

Once you have finished, please, call me and I'll come to see your score.
