yesterday:
we finished the appendicular notes by covering the differences between the pelvis of a male and female skeleton. with that information, we worked on an activity in which we measured lines on diagrams of a male pelvis and compared to the same measured lines on a diagram of a female pelvis. also, we measured actual pelvis models in order to compare the male pelvis to the female pelvis.

today:
we practiced labeling the full skeleton from the neck down in order to get more prepared for the quiz on thursday. the quiz will be half labeling the skeleton and half multiple choice questions. the labeling will focus on the full skeleton, including both the axial and appendicular skeletons. the multiple choice questions will be based solely off of the study guide i provide monday. for the skeletal diagram that we used to practice, look above. for the study guide, click the documents link and look for the "skeletal study guide."

after the labeling, i allowed everyone to finish the activity from monday. it was due by the end of the period and it will be a grade.

we will continue discussing
the bones of the appendicular skeleton.

we used today to catch up and review any material needed. also, students finished labeling the skull bones using the skull model.

dont forget:
the skull quiz is on friday.
i will post a list of websites on my documents page that you can use to practice labeling the skull. some of the websites feature bones and bone markings we have not covered, so just ignore those. other websites test you to see how much you know. overall they are good resources for practicing.
below is a list of bones and bone markings that you will need to be able to label on skull pictures for the quiz. you are responsible for everything on the list. also below are pictures of skull at three different views. these pictures are for those students who were not able to finish labeling their skull worksheet.
