Skeletal/Muscular System Packet
Skeletal System Slideshow
Muscular System Slideshow
March Mammal Madness Link

 Previous week's work:

Week 1 (March 30th- April 3rd) Skeletal System


Week 2 (April 6th- April 10th) Muscular System
Welcome back! This week is all about muscles. You will learn about the types of muscles, how they work, and how they grow.
You need to learn

    • The function of the muscular system
    • The 3 types of muscles (smooth, skeletal, and cardiac) and where they are found 
    • The difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles and examples of each
    • Compare and contrast ligaments and tendons in the body
    • Describe how/why muscles work in pairs
  • Brain Break: Lego Breakfast
  • Take the Muscular System Formative on Schoology. You have 3 attempts.
  • Optional: Try to learn a new recipe with your family.
Week 4 (April 20th- 24th) Purpose: Take time to look over your work for quarter 4, and improve your understanding of skeletal and muscular systems before we move on.

  • We will start the Human Body Question Project next week, but we are going to take a break and make sure you know what you need to for eighth grade.
  • Watch this very helpful video about studying: VERY Helpful Learning Tips!
  • Look over your Skeletal System Formative. Did you do it? What was your grade? If your grade was less than 2.5 you need to look at what questions you missed, find the right answers, and try the test again. Here is a helpful video about studying: VERY Helpful Learning Tips!
  • Look over your Muscular System Formative. Did you do it? What was your grade? If your grade was less than 2.5 you need to look at what questions you missed, find the right answers, and try the test again.
  • Look over your Skeletal and Muscular System Summative. Did you do it? What was your grade? If your grade was less than 2.5 you need to look at what questions you missed, find the right answers, and try the test again.
  • Do fun and healthy things that you enjoy! You may never get this much free time again. Try to truly appreciate your time, your family, and your friends. I’ve started baking bread, and this recipe is easy and delicious! 4 Ingredient No-Knead Bread
Week 5 (April 27th- May 1st) Purpose: Make an interesting and informative slideshow about a human body question. Plan on spending at least 2 hours on science this week.. Don’t worry, next week will be less intense.
