The Lesson
Part 1: Osteology and Anatomy Models (60 mins)
  1. Divide the students into five groups, one for each system of the body.
  2. Referencing the skeletal system diagram, the skeletal system group should work together to build a complete skeleton using the Xrays. They can tape them to the wall. Using stickies, students will label the different bones.
  3. Each of the other groups will build an anatomical model using the craft items, working back and forth with the charts, focusing on their particular system.
  4. Next, each group will present to the class on the parts of their system and how it works.
  5. Display the various models on the class wall.
