Subject: Science

Grade Level: Grade 6

Objective: Skeletal system

Learning within the curriculum:

1) Muscular System: Understanding the muscular system is essential as it works in


conjunction with the skeletal system to facilitate movement. The MELC for this topic
includes describing the functions of the different muscles and how they interact with
bones to enable bodily movement.

2) Human Body Systems: This topic encompasses various systems such as the
circulatory and respiratory systems. Students will learn how the skeletal system
provides structure and support for these systems, connecting to the MELC of
explaining how different body systems work together for overall health.

Learning across the curriculum:

1) Health: The skeletal system is crucial for understanding nutrition and physical
fitness. The MELC in Health emphasizes the importance of calcium and vitamin D for
bone health, linking to the skeletal system's structure and function.

2) Physical Education: In PE, students learn about exercises that strengthen bones
and muscles. The MELC includes performing physical activities that promote skeletal
health, demonstrating the integration of the skeletal system into physical fitness.

ENGAGE:

[Teaching Strategy:] Interactive Quiz

[Instructional Materials:] Quiz cards with questions about bones and their functions

1) Idea - Begin with a quiz where students guess the names of different bones based
on pictures.

2) Idea - Use a “Mystery Box” where students feel and identify model bones without
looking, discussing their functions and importance.
EXPLORE:

Activity 1: Bone Identification

[Teaching Strategy:] Cooperative Learning

Materials - Bone model or printouts of different bones

Significance - Helps students recognize and name different bones in the human
body.

Instructions -

1) In groups, students will examine the bone models/printouts.

2) They will label each bone and share its function with the class.

3) Each group will present their findings to the class.

Rubric

- Accuracy of labeling - 10 pts.

- Clarity of presentation - 10 pts.

- Group collaboration - 10 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) What is the name of the longest bone in the human body?

2) What is the function of the skull?

3) How do bones and muscles work together?

Activity 2: Build a Skeleton


[Teaching Strategy:] Project-Based Learning

Materials - Craft materials (straws, clay, etc.)

Significance - Engages students in hands-on learning by constructing a skeletal


model.

Instructions -

1) Students will work in pairs to create a model skeleton using craft materials.

2) They will label the major bones on their model.

3) Present their model and explain the function of each bone.

Rubric

- Completeness of model - 10 pts.

- Accuracy of labels - 10 pts.

- Presentation skills - 10 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) Which bones are part of the axial skeleton?

2) How does the structure of bones support their function?

3) What materials did you use to represent different bones?

Inclusive Activity 3: Body Movement Charades


[Teaching Strategy:] Interactive Learning

Materials - None

Significance - Encourages students to understand bone functions through


movement.

Instructions -

1) Students will take turns acting out movements that involve different bones (e.g.,
jumping for legs, nodding for the skull).

2) The class will guess which bone is being used.

3) Discuss the importance of each bone in the movement.

Rubric

- Participation - 10 pts.

- Creativity in actions - 10 pts.

- Understanding of function - 10 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) Which bones are involved when you jump?

2) How does bending your arm relate to the skeletal system?

3) Why is it important for bones to work with muscles?

EXPLAIN:

Activity 1 - The teacher explains the structure of the skeletal system, showing a
diagram and highlighting major bones, engaging students with questions about their
functions.

Activity 2 - Discuss the importance of calcium and nutrition for bone health,
prompting students to share foods that are good for bones.

ELABORATE:
[Teaching Strategy:] Problem-Based Learning

Task 1 - Students will research a bone disease (like osteoporosis) and present its
effects on the skeletal system.

Task 2 - Create a poster illustrating healthy habits for maintaining strong bones.

Supporting Material 1 - Articles on bone health and diseases.

Supporting Material 2 - Nutritional guides focusing on calcium-rich foods.

EVALUATE:

[Teaching Strategy:] Formative Assessment

[Instructional Materials:] Quiz and group discussion

Question 1 - Name three functions of the skeletal system.

Question 2 - What is the difference between the axial and appendicular skeletons?

Question 3 - How do bones heal after a fracture?

H.O.T.S.:

Question 1 - Why do you think bones are made of a hard material?

Answer 1 - Bones need to be strong to support the body and protect vital organs.

Question 2 - How might a lack of exercise affect the skeletal system?

Answer 2 - Lack of exercise can weaken bones and lead to health issues like
osteoporosis.

Question 3 - In what ways do you think technology helps us understand the skeletal
system better?

Answer 3 - Technology, such as X-rays and MRIs, allows us to see inside the body
and diagnose issues with bones more accurately.

Assignment:
Assignment 1: Bone Diary

- Overview for the teacher: Students will keep a diary for one week, noting their
physical activities and meals, emphasizing those that promote bone health.

Assessment Question: List three activities you did that help strengthen your bones.

Assignment 2: Bone Research Project

- Overview for the teacher: Students will choose a specific bone, research its
structure and function, and create a visual presentation or poster.

Assessment Question: What did you learn about your chosen bone that surprised
you?
