A selection of resources to support the teaching of
muscles and movement. Some of the materials have been
adapted from a project for science teaching in hospital
schools, which was organised by the National Association
for the Education of Sick Children (NAESC, now called
Present http://www.sickchildren.org.uk/)
and produced by Diana Hannon with students in the School
of Education, Kingston University.
The interactive resources could be used with a digital
projector/electronic white board or with small groups
working on a computer. They illustrate the purpose,
function and movement of the skeleton. The model arm
provides a basis to investigate the action of antagonistic
muscles. The teachers' notes include possible health
issues and injuries that relate to bones and muscles.
Additional useful information is included in the glossary
of terms, which may help a teacher to broaden their
understanding of the topic.
