Introduction Thisunitplanisintendedfor7thgradestudentsinalifescienceclass.Itwillserveasan extensiontotheskeletalandmuscularsystemwhichthestudentshavebeenbrieflyexposedto inpreviousyears.Tobegin,thestudentswilllearnthattheskeletalsystemisaboutallthe bonesandconnectivetissuethatcreatestheframeworkforyourbodyandtheywillunderstand thefivemainfunctionsoftheskeletalsystem.Theywilldiscoverboneshavefourmainlayers andthatconnectivetissuessuchasligaments,tendons,andcartilageareimportant componentsofboththeskeletalandmuscularsystem.Studentswilllearnaboutthefivetypes ofjoints,malfunctionsoftheskeletalsystem,andbeabletolabelthe20majorbonesofthe humanbody.Thestudentswillexplorethethreetypesofmuscletissue,wheretheyarefound, andtheirfunction.Finally,studentswillbeabletolabelthe10majormusclesofthehuman body.
