Enhance your science lessons with this Key Stage 2 lesson focusing on How Muscles Work. This resource provides a complete package, featuring a lesson plan, a PowerPoint presentation, an activity sheet, and a challenge sheet. Designed to foster a deep understanding, students will learn how muscles are attached to bones by tendons that help the muscle move by contracting and relaxing. They will also watch videos to help their understanding. The lesson uses practical application, as children follow the instructions to create a working model of a bicep and tricep with bones. For added challenge, a challenge sheet prompts the learning of facts about different muscles of the body. To end, children will play walk and talk where they will move around whilst music plays and then when the music stops they will pair with a child and answer a question about bones and muscles.

Resource Highlights:
★ Lesson Plan: A detailed guide for a smooth teaching experience.
★ PowerPoint: An attractive visual aid to reinforce concepts and spark curiosity.
★ Activity Sheet: Instructions sheet for interactive and hands-on learning.
★ Challenge Sheet: Challenge students with an additional task that requires the learning of facts about different muscles of the body.
