Each person is allotted 1 play-doh container and 5 index cards. One index card must be used at the end to have your names and the alien’s name. Play-doh colors may be traded with others in the class as necessary. Begin by building a “creature” with one head, one body, two arms and two legs standing in Anatomical Position. Give your creature a navel in the middle of their umbilical region. Now give your creature 3 eyes in a horizontal line. These should be located in the orbital region inferior to the Frontal Region. Using a red marker, draw a line through the Transverse Plane bisecting your creature superior to the Umbilical region.Fill in the correct “directional” term.The head is _____________________________________ to the feet.The eyes are ____________________________________ to the forehead.Section II:Mold two hands extending from each arm of your creature and give each one four digits. The pollex should be the largest digit located laterally to the body on each hand.Now create a set of wings. These wings will attach on the dorsal side of your creature along his vertebral region.Next you need to give your creature four ears. He needs two on each side of his head.Unfortunately your creature can’t breathe yet, so you need to make him a nose. Just like a human, your creature’s nose should be located in the nasal region inferior to the orbital region.Fill in the correct “directional” term.The pollex is ___________________________ to the wrist.The elbow is ___________________________ to the wrist.Section III:11.) Now that your creature can hear and breathe, they also need to be able to eat. Give your creature a mouth which should be located in the oral region inferior to the nose.12.) A) If your alien is male, give your creature a large, sharp horn protruding from his occipital region. This horn should be superior to the wings and medial to the arms. B) If your alien is female, give your creature two antennae protruding superior to the orbital region.13.) Your creature needs good balance so it can walk on two legs. Mold a foot onto the bottom of each leg, giving each foot four digits. One digit should be significantly larger indicating the hallux. The hallux needs to be medial to the other three toes. 14.) Draw an “X” on the plantar regions of each foot.15.) Draw a line using a green marker bisecting your creature through its Median/Midsagittal Plane. 16.) Draw a line using a black marker bisecting your creature through its Frontal Plane. 16.) Lastly, write your initials on the dorsal side of your creature in the right gluteal region.17.) Fill in the correct “directional” term.a. The wings are _______________________________ between the arms and the horn.b. The horn is _________________________________ to the eyes and nose.c. The mouth is________________________________ to the ernment scientists have caught your alien! Assuming that their organ arrangement is similar to ours, answer the following questions:18.) What cavity would the scientists dissect to discover the alien’s brain? ________________19.) What cavity would the scientists dissect to discover the alien’s stomach? ______________20.) What quadrant would the alien’s stomach be found in? ____________________________Clean up any leftover play-doh and return it to the container (make sure to check the floor). Write your names on an index card. Name your alien. Place your alien on the index card. Text a picture of your alien to 352-874-5567. Place your alien at the designated spot for your class period. ................
