GET - The Skeletal System 2

This resource aims to help students learn the different types of joint and inparticular, synovial joints and their possible movements.

Student learning occurs through collaboration in teams and begins with a game-based joint type identification activity. This is followed by a game to help learn the possible movements at different synovial joints and where these joints can be found in the human body.

Students develop their understanding of the structures and functions of a synovial knee joint via a plasticine modelling activity and develop their communciation skills with a short presentation to the class.

The opportunity for some exercise through demonstration comes next, with students learning the names of body movements and showing and explaining to the class a physical movement in sports and/or exercise.

The final activities include a quiz-quiz-trade, to test student’s knowledge of the previous activity, with the chance to win points via the collection of cards for correct responses. This is followed by exam style questions to help students prepare for final exams.
