Locomotion and Support In Classroom

There are many interesting activities to start this chapter. I started this Chapter with 5 Helpilians..And I extracted a simple activity from an old book of Suggested Science Activities.

They only required 8 pieces of A4 papers, whatever colour..They cut the skeletons according to the system...and they staple to join all the bones ~ forming a beautiful skeleton !!
They are so happy with their master piece ~ Filza, Dini and Mika ..
While..Deanna, Umairah and Aida were struggling with the skeletons drawn on a white plain T -Shirt.....
It could have been better if more time was given...**Two periods-Lesson !
Bio Class is full with SKELETONS.....celebrating this Chapter !!!
Silmika, Atikah and Elliena..preparing their skeleton !!

Finally I let them hang their products on the Wall.....at least a week or two until the other Chapter begins...

And the large Chart also help !!
Of course the CD ROM...on a Smart Board :)
While 5 Bakerara girls skipped that activity, they are more focussing on identifying all types of vertebra by using Models/ modules/ text book/ Reference Books....as Guidelines.
We have 4 SETS of Human Skeleton in Bio Lab...and that is more than enough to share !
Every year I find that students are amused when learning this Chapter...Some of them would probably have thought of be an OTHORPEDICs or PHYSIOTERAPIST..or any related fields..

*Orthopedics is the study of the musculoskeletal system.

**Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession which sees human movement as central to the health and well-being of individuals.
