How are we learning the names of the superficial muscles?

Yesterday we spent 90 minutes working on the names of the muscles, including the time we spent reviewing bones.  As we reviewed bones, we reviewed the relevant muscles.  I started with  Adv Bio  Muscles slides with a bit of Latin and names.  We used these Muscle Models for 30 minutes.  Each kid took turns naming muscles.  We might start with the labeled diagram and then flip to the unlabeled pix, over and over.  Finally, I have tens of copies of these diagrams.  The kids named as many muscles from memory as possible, checked their answers, and took the quiz again.  When they earn 90% or greater, I’ll post the grade.  After, we’ll spend a few minutes each week reviewing muscles and bones to retain the information.  We use the skull and skeletal models for bone review.  I wish I had a muscle model.  The pix will have to do.
