Joints

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Ligaments are the tough, fibrous connecting tissue between bones that form joints. Explore this connecting tissue with the 20th video in a series of 47 videos on the human body. The narrator first reviews the anatomy of the skeleton and then moves into joints - what they are made of and what they do.

Instructional Ideas
  • After teaching joints and their movements, call out a joint type and have pupils move their bodies the correct way for that specific joint
Classroom Considerations
  • Turn on closed captioning so learners can follow along despite the speed of the narrator's speech
  • Video ends at 8:25; the rest is a summary of concepts and credits
  • This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
  • Engaging due to the wittiness of the narrator and his ability to relate to high schoolers (his dancing at prom, in this case)
  • Can view closed captioning in English, Arabic, and German, or it can auto translate to a plethora of languages
Cons
  • None
