- As you move from station from station, fill in the table.
- Your results tell me what you saw, and what you discovered.
- After the Methods Section, write your results. Write with the
following topic sentence:
- The skeleton supports an animals body. The shape of an animal's skeleton
determines what the animal can physically do.
- Then, write an essay that describes each skeleton.
- First, write your topic sentence based upon the following:
- The frog's skeleton is designed so that the frog can jump
and swim.
- After your topic sentence, write a general description of the skeleton.
Then write about how the vertebrae (spine) and limbs
look.
- As you talk about an animal that is in Table 1, put "(see Table
1)" at the end of the last sentence of that section. Do the same
for Table 2.
- Your discussion tells me what you think.
- In your last section, the Discussion, answer the following question:
- What does an animal's skeleton tell you about the animal?
- Compare and Contrast the vertebrae (spine) of fish, birds,
bats, pigs, snakes, and man.
- What is different between the vertebrae (spine) of animals
that swim, fly, and run?
- What is different between animals' vertebrae (spine) that
help the animal walk on two legs and four legs?
- What is different between animals' vertebrae (spine) who
are great jumpers, and other animals with similar skeletons?
- Compare and Contrast the limbs of fish, birds, bats, pigs,
snakes, and man.
- What is different between the limbs of animals that swim, fly, and
run?
- What is different between animals' limbs that help the animal walk
on two legs and four legs?
- What is different between animals' limbs who are great jumpers,
and other animals with similar skeletons?
- Conclude with a paragraph that gives me a summary of
what you have discovered in the move and lab.
