Snowman Muscular Project
You & your partner will draw a Snowman, Santa, Mrs. Claus, Elf, or the Grinch on butcher paper. If you draw a 3 circle snowman,
make sure to add twig arms, legs, hands & feet. You will label the muscles around the prominent structures of your Holiday
character & give each muscle’s function. Example: eyes = orbicularis occuli (wink) & mouth = orbicularis oris (kiss). You must use
a minimum of 28 terms correctly. Remember some muscles function may be to move a portion of the body that it originates or
inserts into, ex. Pectoralis muscles move the shoulder but are located in the chest therefore it would be listed as a chest
muscle not a shoulder muscle. You are also encouraged to decorate your person. We will use your people when finished to
decorate for the Winter Holidays. This will count as a _______ grade. Due: ____________
Terms are from the Muscular System Notes. You will turn this page in w/your project & List the muscles that you use.
