December 1st through 5th. Grade Seven Health continues to explore the body systems chapter. The next body system up is the Muscular System. It is important for the students to understand that the body systems work together, especially the skeletal and the muscular system. The skeletal system and the muscular system work together to allow the body to bend, run, walk, lift, jump and carry.
We will define the muscular system and focus on the three major functions of the muscular system. In addition to idenfying the three different types of muscules, the difference between contraction and extension. The muscular system will conclude with us touching on disorders of the muscular system and how to take care of the muscular system.
Students will also be given an opportunity to present their, "All About Me" Prezi to their classmates. If a student has not, they need to understand that they have a zero for a minor assessment grade. Any student that is having a problem sharing their prezi, they should see me as soon as possible.
Finally, we will have a skeletal system quiz in the near future. It will consist of twenty-four questions (short answer and matching). Stay tuned for details.
