Finish the analogy • If my body were a city, the skeletal system would be the ___________ because ______________________________________. Students will describe the functions of the skeletal system and deconstruct the system to describe the function of its parts.

Do now: • Observe the cross section of the bone. • Does it have different parts? • Think about the functions of the skeletal system – which parts of the bone in front of you are responsible for each job? • How do bones contribute to keeping our bodies alive? Students will describe the functions of the skeletal system and deconstruct the system to describe the function of its parts.

Bones are made up of different layers • Outer Membrane: thin and tough, it covers all of the bone except the ends Blood vessels and nerves enter and leave the bone through the membrane • Compact Bone: hard and dense but not solid Small canals carrying blood vessels and nerves from the bone’s surface to the living things within the cell. Blood vessels and nerves run through the compact bone • Spongy Bone: lightweight and strong Located just inside the compact bone and also found at the ends of the bone Like a sponge, spongy bone has small spaces within it Bone Marrow-soft connective tissue found in the spaces in bone Two types of bone marrow: • Red marrow-produces blood cells • Yellow marrow-stores fat that serves as an Students will describe the functions of the skeletal system and deconstruct the system energy reserve to describe the function of its parts.

Do Now • We learned that your bones are hard and have a hard protective layer called compact bone. It doesn’t bend. So how does your body move? • What are different ways your body bends? With your elbow buddy, demonstrate the different motions that your body can bend. Feel the motion of your bones as you swing your arm in a circle, push your pencil, lift a book, turn your head.

Joints of the Skeleton A Joint is a place in the body where two bones come together Joints allow bones to move in different ways. There are two kinds of joints in the body: Immovable Movable Immovable joints connect bones in a way that allows little or no movement Ex: the bones of the skull are held by immovable joints the ribs attach to the sternum by immovable joints Movable joints allow the body to make a wide range of movements Students will describe the functions of the skeletal system and deconstruct the system to describe the function of its parts.

Four Types of Movable Joints Ball and socket joint-allows the greatest range of motion • Lets you swing your arm and leg freely in a circle • Located in your shoulder and hips Pivot joint-allows one bone to rotate on top of another • Lets you turn your head from side to side • Located in the top of your neck Gliding joint-allows one bone to slide over another • Lets you bend and flex your wrist and make limited side to side motion • Located in your wrists and ankles Hinge joint-allows forward and backward motion • Lets you bend and straighten your arms and legs • Located in your elbows and knees • Manipulate joints game rap: http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=a.

Reflection: • The knees and hips are similar to the arms and shoulders. Which is the hinge joint and which is the ball and socket? • Why would a ball and socket joint in your knees create problems for walking?
