There are three main activities:
Read. Connect. Create.
Vocabulary:
Introduce the vocabulary words with the real-life photo posters included. You could post these posters around the classroom and have students travel around to match up and define the words in their flip flaps or use as a center activity. These posters make an excellent bulletin board display in a snap!
Reading:
Introduce the unit by having students answer (predict) the questions in the anticipatory set. Come back at the end of the unit to check and correct their answers. Next, have students read the leveled passages about the skeletal system, our bones, and joints. Then complete the organizers and comprehension questions. Have students read the character study where they will meet Robert Hooke. He was the first scientist to discover cells.
Interactive Activities:
There are lots of hands-on activities in this pack depending on the age of your students and time allotted for this unit.

✔Label the Cell Diagram
✔True/False Questions
✔Appendicular & Axial Skeleton Coloring Activity
✔Name the Missing Bones

✔5-Page Flip Book
✔Spotlight on Vocabulary
Have students complete the Flipbook and build it page by page. I usually have them do one page at each center or learning station. They can use the articles as a reference source to help them complete the pages of the booklet. Lastly, they cut, color, and assemble the booklet. Flip-up books can be glued or stapled inside their interactive notebooks, file folder, or a 12x18 piece of construction paper folded like a book cover.
