Introduction
Through out this lesson the students will be learning about the anatomy of the skeletal system. The skeletal system includes all the bones and joints of the body. The skeleton acts as a scafold by providing stucture and support for all the soft tissues of the body.The skeletal system also provides attachment points for muscles to allow movements at the joints. In this quest you will have videos, interactive websites, and a final task to complete.

Task
During this unit students will be taking guided notes on power points, watching videos, going to interactive websites for learning and games. The students will have worksheets to complete either in class or for home work. As a final project the students are to make a life size skeleton on white paper, labeling all the bones in the body. Students will also make a brief video of their skeleton to show their classmates.
Process
Use the following resources to identify the bones of the human skeletal system then complete the attached worksheet. Be sure to prepare well enough for a quiz.
