Homework for periods 4, 1, 2:
13-3  What is the Skeletal System? Read and answer questions.



Aloha! - For students who can't make it in, here are class notes from this week so far (yes, there are mistakes in the note-taking signals, so if in doubt, copy it if you have your notebook:
Date: Oct. 17-21, 2014

Topic: Support System: Bones, Joints & Muscles

Objective: TSW:                                               

• explore the structure and function of bones, joints and muscles;
• observe or perform dissection of a chicken wing;
• read about how bones & muscles in the human body in different joints work as levers.

Global Context: Identities & Relationships                        
IBPC: Balanced  (understand physical balance to achieve personal well-being)
Inquiry Question: How can understanding body systems help global health?
ATL cluster: Affective skills: How can you manage your own state of mind?

Key words: Write key words in notes, write words & definitions in vocab section at back of your ISN:

• Cartilage - tough, rubbery tissue that cushions bones at joints, and makes up other parts of the body. Ex: larynx, outside parts of ears
• Growth plates - Growth plates are areas of developing cartilage tissue near the ends of long bones, where growth occurs. Growth plates regulate and help determine the length and shape of the mature bone.
• bones - hardened connective tissue that forms the skeleton in most vertebrates; living tissue made of bone cells surrounded by minerals containing calcium and phosphate. 5 types
  • contract - shorten or bunch up
  • joints - junction between 2 or more bones, usually allowing some movement.
  • muscles- tissues made up of cells specialized for movement
  • relax- lengthen or unbunch
  • lever - long object that pivots around a fulcrum or resting point.
  • ligament- band of dense connective tissue that bridges and connects bones in a joint.
  • tendons- band of dense tissue that connects muscle to bone.

Procedure:

1. Read text, pp. B-31 to B-37 on the SEPUP e-book. Fill out "Bone Function" sheet.

2. Pass back (mid col, 2d desk) Anticipation Guides from yesterday. Answer AQs 1-7 from p. B-37 on back of "Bone Function" sheet. In your answer to AQ 5,6, be sure to refer to the Joint type you picked from Table 2 on p. B-35.

3. Bring your homework up to me when called.

4. Reflection: Is the structure of bone changed by the function of the bone? Explain with an example.
