Do you want to teach your students about the musculoskeletal system of animals and how it affects their movement? Do you want to engage them in a fun and hands-on investigation that develops their scientific skills? If so, this lesson is for you!

This lesson includes:
★ A detailed lesson plan with learning objectives, success criteria, starter, main input, activities, challenge, and plenary.
★ A PowerPoint presentation with clear explanations, examples, and questions to guide your teaching.
★ An example method for the investigation, showing how to measure the length of the femur bone and the distance of the jump.
★ An investigation worksheet for students to write their prediction, method, data, and conclusion.
★ Vocabulary cards for the key scientific words: prediction, method, data, results, and conclusion.

In this lesson, students will:
★ Learn the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates, and between exoskeletons and endoskeletons.
★ Make a prediction based on a scientific question: Do you think someone with a long femur bone can jump further than someone who has a shorter femur bone?
★ Conduct an investigation using a method they create as a class, and collect data in pairs or small groups.
★ Analyse their data and draw a conclusion, comparing it with their prediction and explaining their findings.
★ Devise their own musculoskeletal questions to investigate and consider how they would carry them out (challenge).
★ Consolidate the scientific words and their meanings, and reflect on what they have learned (plenary).

This lesson is suitable for KS2 science students, and covers the curriculum objectives of working scientifically and living things and their habitats. It is a great way to introduce or revise the topic of the musculoskeletal system, and to foster curiosity and inquiry among your students.
