Start with 3 pieces of 9” X 12” colored construction paper.
Measure from the bottom of each, up 4 cm and make a mark.
Overlay piece 2 over piece one at the 4 cm mark. Now they should be separated by 4 cm.
Overlay piece 3 over piece 2 at the 4 cm mark on piece 2. This piece 3, is now 4 cm from the bottom of piece 2
and 8 cm from the bottom of piece 1.
Keeping the 3 pieces together, with these separations, FOLD backwards carefully at the 4cm mark on piece 3.
And crease evenly. Now you have a 6 flap booklet.
Make labels or Print VERY Neatly the titles shown for each flap. Glue if needed
On flap 2 cut on the marked lines up to the fold.
On the first section you will have a 3.5” X 3.5” area for pictures and words. Include a picture of the basic
structure of a long bone and pictures of flat bones.
For connectors you will have 2.5” X 3.5” area to show and describe Tendons and Ligaments.
The last section will also be a 3.5” X 3.5” area for pictures and words. Picture each of the 3 types of muscles
with a brief description.
On Flap 3, YOU decide how to arrange and divide up the space of 7” X 9”. Show the joints as a mechanism and
at least one example of each type.
For flaps 4, 5, & 6, Show a mechanical view for each type of lever and then show an example form the body.
LABEL both with Fulcrum, Force and Effort.
