Lesson 2

The practical part

Step 1: In the last lesson, you combined the leg parts and held the sponges together. Now secure these sponges with rubber on the back side
Step 2: Take the lid and make a hole the size of the tube  
Step 3: If the hole is small, use a pencil to enlarge the hole
Step 4: Run the tube and secure with hot melt glue 
Step 5: Glue the prepared piece to the foot (next to the foot), on the back
Step 6. Then take 3 more lids, and glue them to the top, middle and bottom 
Step 7: Prepare cardboard shorter than the leg
Step 8. Then glue the cardboard to the lids (3 lids) And the lid with the tube should protrude from the back
Step 9: You can make a stand from different materials: skewers, straws, ice-cream sticks, cardboard, etc. But not necessarilyCongratulations, the anatomical foot model is ready and it moves: forwards and backwards by attaching a skewer in the middle.

Conclusion

In this project the pupils investigated the function of the human locomotor system. They then made an anatomical model of the leg.

On this project, each pupil is awarded a STEAM title, in several categories:

– You have researched the human musculoskeletal system on your own! You are a young orthopaedic researcher!

– You have created a model of a leg on your own! Perhaps you are a future biotechnological engineer!
