We began our study of the human body by learning that it is made up of cells. As we investigated the muscle and skeletal systems, we discovered how they are held together and how they work. Dissecting a chicken leg allowed us to examine bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.
Then we had the opportunity to figure out how they all work together by constructing our own models of a human arm. We were given a variety of materials as we explored resources to see how others have made similar models.
We drew up our own plans and made a prototype.
Based on what we found with the prototype, we made our final models. It was fun seeing the final models work similar to real arms!
Here are our finished models!
