Muscles - advanced
Drag the labels to the correct slots. When you are ready, use the 'Mark' button to see if you're right. The guidance can give you some clues.
Discussion points
- What is the role of muscles in our body?
- What other system of the human body does the muscular system work closely with?
- What is the difference between muscle contraction and relaxation? Can you demonstrate this?
Teaching tips:
Use this activity to test knowledge of the names of muscles and their location in the human body. As children identify the muscles on the diagram, encourage them to locate the same muscles on their own body too. Guidance is available within the activity.
Use alongside Human skeleton - common names or Human skeleton - advanced to discuss the joint functioning of the muscular and skeletal systems.
Also see Circulatory system, Respiratory system and Digestive system to develop understanding of other human systems.
