Start here
Focus on muscles bones tendons and ligaments. Start with “Compare Antagonistic Muscle Types”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 8 learners practise muscles bones tendons and ligaments.
The activities include Compare Antagonistic Muscle Types, Describe What Tendons and Ligaments Are, Draw Conclusions When Investigating the Force Exerted by Muscles, and related practice. The checked support below includes teaching, lesson, video, worksheet. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
