Skeletal Objectives

Organ Systems

Provide examples of different organ systems, including the hierarchy of organ system, organ(s), tissues, and cells.

Describe skeletal system functions and the system’s organs, tissues, and cells; compare the human skeleton to the skeletons of other species; and explain how the bones of the spinal column are structured and relate this to basic mechanics of picking up heavy objects to avoid a “slipped disc” or other injury.

Bone Structure

Identify and explain the roles of the cells and blood vessels found within an osteon; identify the various joints as well as the bones of the hands and feet; and describe the research on bone density related to aging and exercise.

$Explain what a fracture is, how it is repaired, and identify bone fractures in X-rays; provide examples of different forms of arthritis; and describe osteoporosis, including how it relates to bone density.$

Bone Disorders

Explain what a fracture is, how it is repaired, and identify bone fractures in X-rays; provide examples of different forms of arthritis; and describe osteoporosis, including how it relates to bone density.

Portfolio Plan

This media assignment introduces the final portfolio. Your final portfolio will have two features:

A. demonstrates your mastery of the nine course learning outcomes.

B. constructed so you can use it beyond this course.

So this media assignment has two parts.

Part A, become more familiar with the nine course learning outcomes, and

Part B, select a possible final portfolio format that you can use beyond this course.

Summary of Assignment:

You are turning in together Part A (your list of work matching four of the nine outcomes) and Part B (your portfolio format and how it will effectively display mastery of the outcomes and be something you can use beyond the course).

Details of Assignment:

Part A: Course Outcomes

1. Watch the video below that introduces the nine outcomes.

2. Look over the outcomes, they are listed in more detail at the link provided below.

3. Think of examples of work you can use to demonstrate achievement of the nine outcomes. For the final portfolio due at the end of this course, you will need substantial examples of your work for each of the nine outcomes. Each outcome will have two examples of personal work. For example, the Science Skills outcome could include your 1B safety checklist media piece and quiz answers related to the outcome. For this assignment you will only need to provide one example of work for four of the nine outcomes. You will be accumulating more work as the term progresses to fully populate all nine outcomes.

4. Select four different outcomes from the list (any four of the nine).

5. List one example of your work you could use to partially represent achievement of each of these four outcomes. List the name of the outcome (for example “biology connections”) and the example you could use (like labeled sketch of a human cell’s structures). These examples could be work you have completed in this course, previous courses, or from your other life experiences.

6. To summarize: in part A you are listing four of the nine outcomes and providing an example of a piece of your work (past or current) that would fit the outcome.

Part B: Portfolio Format

1. Watch the video below that previews portfolio format considerations.

2. Brainstorm possible portfolio formats to display your work. Consider:

what will best display your achievement of the nine learning outcomes?
what format will be something you may want to use in the future?

3. Be creative. For example, you could arrange your work in a space and give a video tour of the two pieces you have representing each outcome. Or you could make a presentation with different slides showing your work. Or you could plan your own “Human Biology” museum with different galleries representing the outcomes and displaying your work.

4. Submit to Canvas (along with Part A, your list of four outcomes) the format you are thinking of using. Include why you chose this format, including (1) why you think it will be an effective format to display your achievement of the course outcomes, and (2) why you think you may use the selected portfolio format into the future.

5. To summarize, you are turning in together Part A (your list of work matching four of the nine outcomes) and Part B (your portfolio format and how it will effectively display mastery of the outcomes and be something you can use beyond the course).

Note: You can alter your portfolio format as you construct it if you come up with a better idea. This assignment gets you started on the process.

Media Directions

To be completed after taking the quiz on Canvas.

Turn in together Part A (your list of work matching four outcomes) and Part B (your portfolio format and how it will effectively display mastery of the outcomes and be something you can use beyond the course). upload them to Canvas. This can be submitted as a PDF, a word document, a photo of the notes, or even a video. Multiple assignment formats are supported.

Human Biology Portfolio
