Using Assessments to Monitor Student Learning

Insights Bones and Skeletons

How are systems within a human like systems in an animal?

NSES (5-8): The human organism has systems for digestion, respiration, reproduction, circulation, excretion, movement, control and coordination, and for protection from disease. The systems interact with one another.

Teacher observation/questioning during chicken wing dissection

Class discussion of dissection activity (See Processing for Meaning on page 167.)

Are students able to find bones, muscles, and joints (and tendons and ligaments) in the chicken wing?

Can students explain how the bones and muscles (and tendons and ligaments) work as a system to facilitate movement of the chicken wing?

1. For conceptual benchmarks.
2. Bolded sections indicate portion of benchmark addressed
3. Unless noted as a Summative Assessment, the assessments are formative and should be used to guide teaching and learning.
