Unit Plan by Assure Method Introduction: This lesson plan will be about the human anatomy--specifically bones. The functions of bones, the structure of bones, and many other aspects of bones will be covered. I. Analyze Learners The learners are third graders between the ages of eight and ten years old. The class is a regular education classroom. Other systems of the body have been previously learned. II. State Objectives SC.3.2.1 demonstrate curiosity, initiative and creativity by planning and conducting simple investigations SC.3.4.1 identify the structures of living things, including their systems and explain their functions (e.g., roots absorb water, circulatory system to move materials) SC.3.1.3 explore science careers in the community SC.3.3.2 use models as representations of real things SC.3.3.1 identify that systems are made of parts that interact with one another III.

This will be used to gain ideas of procedures and evaluation methods. http://www.teachervision.fen.com--provides a list of the bones, a description of each bone, and how many of each kind of bone there is in the body; to be used as a study guide for the students Students will access http://kidshealth.org/kid to gain more knowledge on why the body has certain functions. Students will put “Mr. Bones” back together on http://sv.berkeley.edu/showcase/pages/bones.html. They will not be quizzed from this; it will be used only in the case of free time as reinforcement. Students will get an overview of all of the body systems from http://www.innerbody.com/. This will be used as reinforcement only if the students have time.
