Culturally Sensitive Approach to Science & Animal Research Skeleton Model
- Level: High School - Junior College
- Topic: Exercise Physiology and Musculoskeletal System
Description:
The purpose of this activity is to incorporate inquiry, cooperative learning, teamwork, and hands-on experience into the cultural unit of which this activity is part. This will be accomplished by requiring students to first identify and compare/contrast bones of two culturally significant animals (deer, antelope, cattle, buffalo, dog, etc.) and then develop a plan amongst themselves to construct a life-size skeletal model of the animal(s) using a preserved skeleton provided to them.
