Further information:
This lesson covers 3 topics, skeleton and joints and muscles. Consequently it covers all the important points but is not as detailed as spending 1 full hour lesson on each of these 3 topics (3 hours total). This lesson is very useful, even more so if you want to get ahead and build a buffer to allow for a revision lesson before the test or end of year exams, or if you have fallen behind were you should be in comparison to your teaching rota, or in case students find things more difficult later. If you need deep detail and to spend a total of 3 hours on these three topics then you could easily add some of your own content to this powerpoint.

Happy teaching !
