Complete and ready to use lesson covering: Skeleton + Joints + Muscles
This is a KS3 lesson, in this lessons students learn among other things:
To describe the functions of the skeleton and the role of joints.
To name bones and understand where within the skeleton specific bones are located.
To understand the different types of joints.
To investigate and also explain antagonistic muscle pairs.
Activities for students include:
3 short starters based on picture for thinking, SPaG/literacy and thinking about what the skeleton is for (use 1 or all as you see fit).
Differentiated activity sheets.
All answers are provided throughout.
Gap fills.
Video.
Animated game - via a link to an excellent site that is well worth finding !
Questioning (all answers provided).
Label the skeleton activity sheet (diagrams and answers are included in this download).
Joints gap fill.
Practical experiment.
Plenary quiz.
Further information:
This lesson covers 3 topics, skeleton and joints and muscles. Consequently it covers all the important points but is not as detailed as spending 1 full hour lesson on each of these 3 topics (3 hours total). This lesson is very useful, even more so if you want to get ahead and build a buffer to allow for a revision lesson before the test or end of year exams, or if you have fallen behind were you should be in comparison to your teaching rota, or in case students find things more difficult later. If you need deep detail and to spend a total of 3 hours on these three topics then you could easily add some of your own content to this powerpoint.
Happy teaching !

Complete and ready to deliver high quality and engaging KS3 lessons from Barclayfox.
I’ve structured these as 4 lessons, they are modular so they can very easily be rearranged to cover 5 or 6 lessons. Each lesson contains many varied student focused activities. Practical experiments, differentiated activity sheets, gap fills, matching, animated game (link), video clips, Q&A etc etc. Engage your students and get them learning !
Please don’t waste hour after hour after hour carefully planning, creating, and resourcing . I have already spent a huge amount of time and effort preparing these lessons for my students and improving them further after each use.
**
These lessons have been successfully used and improved many many times ! **
There is nothing to do but give them a quick look through and familiarise yourself with their content. (However if you cannot resist making changes their modular nature makes this very easy to do).
The 4 lessons in this Barclayfox bundle are:
* Cells, tissues and organs (levels of organisation).
* Lungs, gas exchange and alveoli.
* Breathing (inhaling and exhaling) and lung capacity.
* Skeleton, joints and muscles.
