Human Body (LIFE SCIENCE)

Full Options Science Systems (FOSS)

Eight to Ten Weeks

Students investigate the human skeleton with direct observation, photographs, diagrams, and models. They discover how different tissues (bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons) work together to provide movement, protection, and a structure. Students conduct a systematic investigation to find out how different parts of the body work together to coordinate responses to tactile and visual stimuli.

The student goals for Human Body are:

1. Observe and investigate the human skeletal and muscle systems.

2. Become aware of the versatility of movement provided by an articulated skeleton.

3. Gain experience with the use of photographs, diagrams, and model bones to gather information.

4. Build mechanical models to demonstrate how muscles are responsible for human movement.

5. Compare the bones and muscles in their own bodies to photographs and models.

6. Investigate response time of hands and feet.

7. Develop an awareness of human bone and muscle structure. Study their functions and develop an appreciation for the versatility of the human body.

8. Acquire the vocabulary associated with the human skeletal and muscle systems.

9. Use scientific thinking processes to conduct investigations and build explanations: observing, communicating, comparing, and organizing.

GOAL/OBJECTIVE: Students will examine the bones in the body, assemble a paper skeleton, and compare the

human bones to those of a rodent.
