In this lesson students will learn the basics about the skeletal system. They will be able to identify the major bones of the human body and explain the functions of the skeletal system. The students will have the opportunity to navigate...

Explore the skeletal system. Identify the differences of the endoskeleton and exoskeleton, what the system does, how it interacts with other systems, and how it might vary genetically.

[Free Registration/Login Required] An informational text about the skeletal system and a diagram showing some of the bones. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

In this activity, students use wood, wax paper and oil to investigate the importance of lubrication between materials and to understand the concept of friction. Using wax paper and oil placed between pieces of wood, the function of...

Students will learn about bone structure, bone development and growth, and bone functions. Later, students will apply this understanding to answer the Challenge Question presented in the "Fix the Hip" lesson and use the acquired learning...
