This cyber lesson was created to be used as a whole class instructional tool
over the course of a month in four lab class sessions.
1. Cyber-Lesson on the Skeletal System Part 1- This will include slides 1
through 4. I will have the students complete the KWL Chart on their own
computers and then print it out.
2. Cyber-Lesson on the Skeletal System Part 2 - This will include slide 5.
3. Cyber-Lesson on the Skeletal System Part 3 - This will include slides 6
through 7. I will have the students complete the KWL Chart on their own
print out from previous lesson.
4. Cyber-Lesson on the Skeletal System Part 4 - This will include slide 8.
This lesson will act as a wrap up lesson for the cyber-lesson and the
lessons on the Skeletal System.
