Teacher: Christine Davis

Grade: 3rd
Content Area: Science

1. PA Common Core: Standard –


a. 10.1.3.B Identify and know the location and function of the major body
organs and systems.

2. Prerequisites: Students have previously reviewed basic concept of bone, joint,


ligaments, muscles, tendons and synovial fluid through a partner and guided study
guide.

3. Essential Questions: How does your hand move?

4. Materials and Equipment:

a. Cardstock
b. Ribbon
c. Straws
d. Crayons
e. Pencils
f. Tape

5. Instructional Objective: Students will know how the hand utilizes tendons to help move the
muscles and fingers along with ligaments attaching the joints demonstrated by creating a STEM
hand.

6. Instructional Procedures:

a. Before
i. Students will sit in a groups circle
ii. Teacher will review the What We Know and Learned (K and L) in our KWL chart
about our bones.
iii. Students will turn and talk about what they want to know about how their hand
moves.
iv. Only pair talk for about 20 seconds.
v. Ask them to share what they would like to learn
1. Using post-it put questions on the W on the chart.
vi. The teacher will introduce the new subject of tendons and ligaments.
1. Ask the students to put their hand on their forearm OR their radius.
2. Instruct them to wiggle their fingers.
a. “Do you feel your muscle move”?
b. “Can you move your fingers without using your muscles?”
c. “The tendon is what attaches your muscle to your bones, if you
are moving your muscle you are moving your tendon.
d. “The tendons allow your muscles to pull on your bones, they act
like cords”.
e. “Now turn your hand over, wiggle your fingers. See those cord
looking things, well those are your tendons”.
vii. Students will turn and talk about what they think the ligaments do? (20
seconds)
1. “We just learned about our tendons, what do you think the ligaments
do? Or where are they located?
a. “Remember our study guide”.
2. Ask the students what they think.
3. Explain that if you had no ligaments your joints wouldn’t be attached to
your bones.
a. “Alright now everyone wiggle their phalanges. Try to move your
finger in a different way instead of wiggling move it the top part
only from side to side.
b. “Did it work?”
c. “Why not?” Turn and talk
d. “What do you think?”
4. Explain without the ligament your bones wouldn’t be aligned or move
right.
viii. “Now that you have learned what both tendons and ligaments do, what
happens if you were born with out a hand or arm or maybe even that it just
stopped working. Has anyone seen anyone like that?”
ix. Show the short clip https://youtu.be/WUwiu0YU3WM.
x. “Pretty cool, right”. Did you know that you STEM Lab has 3-d printer? Not
saying that you can build an arm like Alex’s today but, someday you could.”
xi. “Today we are going to make a prosthetic hand, not as elaborate or cool but,
pretty exciting”.
xii. BEFORE LEAVING the carpet
1. Explain that there are trays of supplies on your desk.
2. Each table is equipped with strays at various lengthens of bones
a. “How many bones in a finger?”
b. “How many bones in a thumb?”
c. “How many bones in the whole hand?”
3. “Do you remember just a couple of minutes ago when we put our hand
on our radius and try to not move those muscles while moving our
phalanges?
a. “You also will need to include bones running down your wrist
too”.
4. There is also ribbon, “What does the ribbon represent?”
5. But before you EVEN TOUCH the supplies you must cut out your hand.
6. The teacher will demonstrate this after they return to their seats.
xiii. Return non-verbally to transition to their seats.
xiv. While working on their projects their volume should be at a 1.
b. During
i. After returning to their seats, have them lay their hand flat on the card stock.
1. Model under the magnifier what to do. Trace your hand.
ii. After their hand is traced have them cut it out.
iii. Then explain that they will tape the bones on each finger.
1. If they need to trim the straws explain how to.
iv. Model each step of taping the bone to the hand under the magnifier
1. You don’t need to tape all just 3, include the thumb.
v. Model taping the bones on the wrist. 1 bone for each finger.
vi. Make sure everyone stays on track and they don’t play with the straws,
vii. After they have the fingers taped, model how to put the ribbon through each
bone.
1. Make sure they understand to tape the ribbon to the backside of the
finger.
2. Run the ribbon from each finger to the appropriate wrist bone.
viii. If they finish early, they can assist others.
c. Closing
i. When they are all finish have them take out their science journals.
ii. Under the magnifier you will demonstrate the proper way to dray the hand and
it’s; joints, tendons, ligaments, bones and muscles.
iii. While drawing each element explain again that:
1. That our bones cannot move without muscles.
2. Tendons attach our muscle to our bone.
3. Ligaments attach our bones together
4. Joints help our bones move.
5. Synovial fluid keeps us moving smoothly like the tin man on the Wizard
of OZ.
iv. After they are finished with their drawing check each one to make sure they
have them labeled correctly.
v. Challenge them to take their bionic, robotic prosthetic hand home and teach
their parents.
vi.

7. Assessment:
a. Assessment will be done with their writing in their science drawing book.
b. Observations
c. Questioning
8. Differentiated Instruction:
a. Student can use the prepared materials a hand already cut out.
b. Assistant from the teacher.
c. Pre-drawn journal entries.
