Synovial Joint Project

Over the past few weeks, students in the Grade 12 Exercise Science class have been working on creating models of Synovial Joints.  They completed a two-part assignment on the joint of their choice. They demonstrated the knowledge and understanding gained from the Anatomy and Physiology unit; especially the following: bones, ligaments, muscle names, joint types, and proper use of anatomical terminology when describing body movements.

Students used common materials such as: nylon stockings or balloons (filled with another material) and elastics for muscles; for the bones they used wood, plastic, cardboard tubes; for ligaments they used strong elastics, deflated balloons, and Velcro; and for cartilage they used use plastic / nylon or styrofoam.
