A. Background Information for Learners

The Musculo-Skeletal System is like a frame. It gives your body shape

and support. It supports your body as you move. You have about 206 bones

in your body. As a baby you had more than 300 bones. Some bones protect

some vital parts or internal organs of your body. Some bones enable the body

to make different movement. The bones in the

head.

The bone forming the head is the skull

or cranium. It is like a built-in helmet is made

up of eight bones that have grown together.

The skull protects the brain. It is hard

and strong, but it can be cracked if it receives a Fhttps://static.vecteezy.com/system/

The backbones or the spinal

column holds your head and body straight.

It consists of 26 separate bones called

vertebrae with disk made of cartilage. The

backbone protects the spinal cord. Your

backbone is your main support. The Fhttps://dm0qx8t0i9gc9.cloudfront.net/

The skeletal

system serves many

important functions; it

provides the shape and

form for the body,

support and protection,

allows bodily

movement, produces

blood for the body, and

stores minerals. The

number of bones in the

human skeletal system

is a controversial topic.

Humans are born with

over 300 bones:

however, many bones

fuse together between

bones.

The human skeleton is composed of both fused and individual bones

supported by ligaments, tendons, muscles and cartilage. It is a complex

structure with two distinct divisions; the axial skeleton, which includes the

vertebral column, and the appendicular skeleton.

Activity 3: Let us know the function of our bones.

Prepare the following materials:

paper doll, piece of wire as tall as the paper doll, masking, or adhesive tape

Procedure:

1. Cut a paper doll and make it stand on the table.

2. Attach the paper doll to the wire using the adhesive tape.

3. Bend the wire in different directions and observe what happens to the

paper doll.

E. Guide Questions

Did the paper doll stand on its own? Did the paper doll stand when it

was attached to the wire? Why or why not?

What part of the body can be compared to the wire in this activity?

F. Reflection

As a Grade Six student how can you take good care of your skeletal

system?
