Skeletal & Muscular System - Science Centers / Lab Stations
These print and go, low-to-no prep Science Circuit Stations are easy to implement with a few household items and provide a method for reinforcing life science that shows how science concepts flow across the curricula and are relatable in all aspects of life.
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS 1-2 DAY LESSON:
7 activities and one assessment aligned to NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) covering the following topics:
- Functions of the skeletal system
- Different bones of the body
- Composition of a long bone
- Axial and appendicular skeleton
- Types of joints
- Tendons, ligaments, cartilage
- Types of muscles: voluntary and involuntary
- Types of muscles: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal
- Different muscles of the body
STUDENTS WILL:
- Use this skeletal and muscular systems lab station set to learn about how the skeleton and muscles of the body work together.
- Learn about the scientific method and its components by using Social Studies (which includes history, current events and geography), Technology (computers and engineering), ELA (reading and writing), the Arts (music, art, PE/dance and debate), and Math.
- Participate in the following student-led stations:
Explorer: explore current events, historical figures and events, etc.
Researcher: research related topics using a computer, smart phone, ipad or other electronic device
Maker: engineer, design, build, assemble, and/or experiment with manipulatives
Scriber: write a response to a question or problem
Reader: answer questions related to a reading passage
Performer: participate in one of the many arts
Solver: use math skills to answer science related math problems
Scholar: an assessment piece that aligns with the lessons included in the Science Circuit
