Skeleton Project
Directions and Grading
Objectives
• Content Objective: Students will be able to create an
accurate skeleton with all bones labeled both with their
common name and medical name as well as recalling the
location of various joints, functions of the skeletal
system and problems of the skeletal system by
completing a project.
• Language Objective: Students will be able to apply the
medical and common names for each bone in the
skeletal system by writing them on their project.
Skeleton project directions
• You may work alone or in a group of NO MORE
than 3
• Reminder: If you work in a group, participation points
can be deducted at any time that you or your group are
off task so make a responsible decision with who you
work with
• You will not be able to use any of your notes during
class time, but you may study them after class as we
will be working on this project for a couple class
periods
Directions
1. You will cut out and color the bones that make up the human body.
2. After all bones are colored and cut, you will assemble the skeleton inside
of a manila folder (gluing the bones to the folder in their correct
anatomical position)
• Prior to gluing the bones down lay them all out to make sure they all fit and you
have right and left in the correct places
3. Once all bones are laid down, you will label each of the bones with their
medical and common name (if it has a common name)
• In addition to labeling everything we labeled on the skeleton we completed in class, you
will need to label the teeth, false ribs, true ribs and floating ribs.
• Once all parts of your skeleton are labeled with the medical name and the
common name, you will circle and label the 4 joints discussed in class (Ball
& Socket, Hinge, gliding, and fixed)
Directions continued
• Once your skeleton is completely labeled, you will write
(using complete sentences) the four functions of the
skeletal system and one way that they demonstrate that
function.
• What are some examples?
• Finally, you will write in complete sentences) four
problems with the skeletal system and identify what that
problem means.
• What are some examples from last class?
Grading
• Grading: 60 Points
• 49 Points – For accurately labeling and assembling all
bones as well as circling and labeling the four types of
joints.
• 8 Points – For completing the four functions and four
problems bubbles in COMPLETE SENTENCES.
• 3 Points – For having your name and section on your
project and for completing the project neatly.
• A checklist/rubric will be provided the last
day for working on the project.
