Introduction
Welcome to
The Muscular System: Types of Muscle Tissues's WebQuest!
A webquest for 6th grade
Southwest Academy Magnet Program
Designed by Ms. Mays Saed
Skeletal muscles are responsible for movement of the body and all its joints. Muscle contraction produces the force that causes joint movement in the human body. In addition to the function of movement, muscles also provide protection, contribute to posture and support, and produce a major portion of total body heat. There are over 600 skeletal muscles, which constitute approximately 40% to 50% of total body weight.
This WebQuest will test your knowledge of muscle anatomy and function. At the end of it, you will be able to check your answers and see where you still need more practice.
Task
This WebQuest include: Time needed to complete this WebQuest: 60 minutes
1. A reading activity.
2. Watching a video.
3. Filling a table activity. 33 points
4. Attacing and labling pictures activity. 12 points
5. A quizz and crossword activity. 10 points
Through this webquest, students will be able to identify the three types of muscle tissues, as well as compare and contrast them. Students will be working in pairs on reading an article and watching a video in order to complete the first table. They will also have to explore the intenet to fill the second table. After finishing these two activities, each individual student will have to take a quizz to be evaluated on how much he/she learned.
Happy Studying!
