Subject: Anatomy and Physiology
1. Topic-
Introduction to Skeletal System and the Axial Skeleton
 
2. Content-
Introduction to Skeletal System to include the types and formation of bones. Learning and naming the bones of the axial skeleton.

Key Vocabulary:
periosteum, epiphysis, diaphysis, articular cartilage, articulation, red bone marrow, hematopoiesis, compact bone, spongy bone, ossification, endochondral ossification, epiphyseal plate, appositional growth, reduction, axial skeleton, sinusitis, mastoiditis, sutures, fontanels, and the bones of the axial skeleton
 
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
1.Illustration of how the skeletal system is important and its functions.
2.How bones are formed and the features of bones.
3.Bones of the axial skeleton and important characteristics of each.
 
4. Objectives-
1.Students will be able to discuss the functions of the skeleton, types of bones and how they are formed.
2.Students will be able to recognize and name the bones of the skull, spine and rib cage.
 
5. Materials and Aids-
