Human Biology: Skeleton and Skin

Today is our second, two-hour class.  We started with a skeleton quiz and POGIL Activity The Skeletal System, drew sketches of microscope slides, and started the skin lab.  We ran out of time and will restart the skin and nerve lab next time.  I spent time asking the kids about an article I had posted on the Google Classroom web page for the Human Biology Class.  (BTW, the kids can post their paragraphs right on the web page.)  I spent time checking their work, too.  I had assigned way too much coloring in their anatomy coloring books.

We used a digital microscope that attaches by USB to the laptop.  We focus the slide and then take a picture.  The kids draw the image.  We drew cartilage, nerve cells, muscle, etc.  Sketching slides is a bit of discipline.  This is the Skin Touch Receptor Lab.  Here is the Sweat Gland Distribution Lab.  Here are a few of the pix.
