TEKS & Objectives
7.12 Organisms and environments. The student knows that living systems at all levels of organization demonstrate the complementary nature of structure and function. The student is expected to:
7.12.C recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms
We will explore the internal structure of animals.
I will disect a chicken wing.
1. Watch video.
Internal Animal Parts (on ScreenPal)
2. Complete quiz.
3. Review vocabulary to prepare for lab.
Internal Structures Structures found on the inside of living things, such as the heart, lungs or brain
Bones These are like a frame that provides support and gives us our shape.
Muscles These attach to your bones, contract and relax, which allows you to move.
Tendons These are strong, rope-like fibers that connect muscles to bones.
4. Disect a chicken wing.
Watch this walk-through.
NOTE: Your chicken wing will not move in quite the same way as the one in the video because it has been cooked. Cooking the chicken creates a chemical reaction that changes the texture of the chicken and makes it less flexible. It is however, much safer.
Speaking of animals…
Why did the T-Rex cross the road?
Becasue the chicken hadn’t been invented yet.
5. “Chicken Wing Dissection Lab”
