Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How is the human skeleton arranged?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The structure of the human skeleton: Legs: - The upper leg has one bone called the Femur. - The lower leg has two bones called the Tibia and the Fibula. The Tibia is the larger bone. - The Femur, Tibia and Fibula are connected by the Knee joint, behind the Patella (knee cap). Torso: - The Femur is connected to the Pelvis by the Hip joint. - The Spine is made up of Vertebrae connects the Pelvis to Skull. - Attached to the spine is the Rib cage and the Clavicle. Arms: - The upper arm has one bone called the Humerus. - The lower arm has two bones called the Radius and the Ulna. The Radius is on the side of the thumb. - The Humerus is attached to the Clavicle at the Shoulder joint. - Humerus, Radius and Ulna are connected by the Elbow joint.
  2. Students label a diagram based on the above.
  3. The functions of the human skeleton are: - support, - protection, - movement and - making blood cells
  4. Within bones there is bone marrow which produces new blood cells.
  5. There are different types of joint in the skeleton, allowing different types of movement. - Hinge: Back and forth without twisting. - Pivot: Twisting. - Ball and socket: Rotation in all directions. - Fixed: No movement
  6. The Elbow and Knee are hinge joints. The Neck, part of the spine, is a pivot joint. The Shoulder and Hip are ball and socket joints. The Skull has fixed joints in it.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. How are the bones arranged in your head, torso, arms and legs?
    The structure of the human skeleton: Legs: - The upper arm has one bone called the Femur. - The lower arm has two bones called the Tibia and the Fibula. The Tibia is the larger bone. - The Femur, Tibia and Fibula are connected by the Knee joint, behind the Patella (knee cap). Torso: - The Femur is connected to the Pelvis by the Hip joint. - The Spine is made up of Vertebrae connects the Pelvis to Skull. - Attached to the spine is the Rib cage and the Clavicle. Arms: - The upper arm has one bone called the Humerus. - The lower arm has two bones called the Radius and the Ulna. The Radius is on the side of the thumb. - The Humerus is attached to the Clavicle at the Shoulder joint. - Humerus, Radius and Ulna are connected by the Elbow joint.
  2. What are the functions of a skeleton?
    The functions of the human skeleton are: - support, - protection, - movement and - making blood cells
  3. What does the bone marrow do?
    Within bones there is bone marrow which produces new blood cells.
  4. How is the movement different in a hinge, pivot, ball and socket and fixed joint?
    There are different types of joint in the skeleton, allowing different types of movement. - Hinge: Back and forth without twisting. - Pivot: Twisting. - Ball and socket: Rotation in all directions. - Fixed: No movement
  5. Give an example of a hinge, pivot, ball and socket and fixed joint.
    The Elbow and Knee are hinge joints. The Neck, part of the spine, is a pivot joint. The Shoulder and Hip are ball and socket joints. The Skull has fixed joints in it.

Learning Phases/Episodes
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Differentiation: AGT, SEND, LLL, Disadvantaged
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
