    Lesson Plan: The Human Skeleton

    Grade Level: 4
    Duration: 60 minutes
    Subject: Science

    Objectives:

    1. Students will understand the basic structure and function of the human skeleton.

    2. Students will identify and label major bones in the human skeleton.

    3. Students will understand the importance of bones in protecting organs, providing structure, and
    enabling movement.

    Materials:

     Chart of the human skeleton

     Handouts with a blank skeleton diagram

     Markers/Crayons

     Interactive skeleton model (if available)

     Video on the human skeleton

     Worksheet for assessment

    Introduction (10 minutes):

    1. Greeting and Warm-up:

    o Welcome students and ask them if they know how many bones are in the human body.

    o Share interesting fact: Humans are born with about 270 bones, but many fuse together
    as they grow, resulting in 206 bones in adults.

    2. Objective Overview:

    o Explain what students will learn today: the names and functions of major bones in the
    skeleton and why they are important.

    Direct Instruction (15 minutes):

    1. Presentation:
    o Show a chart of the human skeleton.

    o Highlight and name major bones: skull (cranium), mandible, clavicle, scapula, sternum,
    ribs, spine (vertebrae), humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, femur, tibia, and fibula.

    2. Function of Bones:

    o Explain the three main functions of the skeleton: protection (e.g., skull protects the
    brain), support (e.g., spine supports the body), and movement (e.g., leg bones help in
    walking).

    3. Engagement:

    o Show a short video about the human skeleton (3-5 minutes).

    Guided Practice (15 minutes):

    1. Activity:

    o Hand out blank skeleton diagrams to students.

    o Guide them to label the major bones discussed. Use the chart and video as references.

    2. Group Work:

    o Divide students into small groups. Each group will work on labeling a large poster-sized
    skeleton diagram. Encourage creativity by allowing them to color the bones.

    Independent Practice (10 minutes):

    1. Interactive Model:

    o If available, let students take turns exploring the interactive skeleton model.

    o For those waiting, have them complete a worksheet where they match bone names to
    their locations on a diagram.

    Assessment (5 minutes):

    1. Review and Questions:

    o Ask questions to review: "What bone protects your brain?", "Which bones are in your
    arm?"

    o Check understanding through their labeled diagrams and worksheet answers.

    Conclusion (5 minutes):
    1. Recap:

    o Summarize the key points: the names and functions of major bones, and the importance
    of the skeleton.

    o Praise students for their participation and efforts.

    2. Homework Assignment:

    o Ask students to write a short paragraph on why the skeleton is important and to draw a
    bone of their choice with a brief description of its function.

    Additional Resources:

     Books: "The Skeleton Inside You" by Philip Balestrino, "Bones: Our Skeletal System" by Seymour
    Simon.

     Websites: KidsHealth.org, National Geographic Kids.

    This lesson plan aims to be engaging and informative, using a variety of teaching methods to
    accommodate different learning styles.
