would you rather...?
ALSCOS #6: Identify structures and functions of the muscular and skeletal systems of the human body.
Introduction
You have a huge decision to make! You have two weeks to decide whether you would rather get rid of your skeleton or your muscles from your body. In order to make this decision you will need to decide what the purpose and parts of your skeletal system are as well as what the purpose and parts of your muscular system are. You will need to explore both systems and then decide which one you would rather have.

You will need to explore both systems and then decide which one you would rather have.
Task
You will be working in a small group to help each other make this decision. Your job will be to explore several websites to gather information about the muscular and skeletal systems. As you read each day, you will complete a graphic organizer to help you record what you are learning. After you have completed both graphic organizers and completed all 4 days of assignments, you will then work together to create a Key Note or Board Builder presentation. The presentations will need to let others know what your decision was, and why you decided the way you did.

Evaluation
You will be creating a Key Note or Board Builder with your group to show me what you've learned. Make sure to tell me which system you think is most important and WHY! If you think both systems are important, you can tell me that, too! Please click below to see the rubric you will be graded with as well as a template for your Key Note or Board Builder presentation.

Conclusion
As I hope you have learned, the skeletal and muscular systems are both important to our bodies. They work together to help our body work the way it should. I hope you had a great time exploring these two systems!
