GET - The Muscular System 1

This resource begins with information about the different types of muscle and a game to help students understand the different characteristics of three muscle types (cardiac, smooth and skeletal).

This is followed by another game to understand the names of the different muscles in the human body.

Students then move onto an exercise-based activity whereby they use POST-IT notes to identify the correct names and locations of muscles in a race.

Student knowledge continues to develop with another exercise-based activity in which various types of muscle contraction are identified and linked to real-life sports and physical activity movements. Competition is encouraged through the use of nomination exercise forfeits, for producing correct answers and the opportunity for bingo style scoring is available from the answer grid.

Finally student knowledge and understanding is tested with several exam style questions.
