Insights Bones and Skeletons

How do the parts of an animal relate to its needs and habitat?

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.

IAF (12.7.02 ): Understand that animals have parts well suited to the places they live in and to their needs. For example, rabbits radiate heat through their ears, and those living in hotter climates have larger ears to radiate heat more efficiently. Thus, given a list of animals, one of which is clearly better adapted to a given environment, understand that that is the animal that lives in that environment.

12A(3-5)#2: Offer reasons for their findings and consider reasons suggested by others.

Formal Assessment: Science Notebook Page Major Bone Groups sheet (page 65) and teacher-generated Bone Groups & Functions sheet (Use Bone Groups & Functions sheet available under "Teacher Resources" on electronic blueprint in place of student sheet on page 67.)

Can students locate the six major bone groups in the outline of the human body?
Do students have accurate ideas about the functions of the six major bone groups?
Are student ideas supported by observations?

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.
