Learning Intention: To label the human skeleton with the correct names of the bones.
Introduction: 1. Begin the lesson by asking the students to think about what would happen to us if we didn’t have any bones. Allow a few students to share their thoughts. 2. Then, ask if anyone knows the names of any bones we have in our bodies. Write down their responses on the board.
Main Activity: 1. Show the students the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywDOiNEdJVc 2. After watching the video, distribute the labelling sheets and exercise books to each student. 3. For higher ability (HA) and middle ability (MA) students, instruct them to label the human body using the correct names of the bones. They can refer to the video and their prior knowledge. 4. For lower ability (LA) students, provide them with cut-out names of the bones. Instruct them to cut and stick the names of the bones to the correct areas on the labelling sheet. 5. Circulate around the classroom to provide support and guidance as needed.
Conclusion: 1. Once the students have completed their labelling activity, gather them together for a discussion. 2. Ask a few students to share their labelled diagrams and explain the names of the bones they have included. 3. Recap the importance of bones in our bodies and how they support our structure and movement.
Extension: 1. For students who finish early, provide them with additional resources such as books or online articles about the human skeleton. They can research and find more names of bones to add to their labelling sheets. 2. Encourage students to create a poster or presentation about the human skeleton, including the names and functions of different bones.
Assessment: 1. Assess the students’ understanding of the human skeleton by reviewing their labelled diagrams or cut-and-stick activities. 2. Provide feedback and support as needed, highlighting any areas for improvement or further exploration. 3. Monitor the students’ participation and engagement during the discussion and extension activities.
