Here's What Our Muscular System Unit Covers!

Dive into the fascinating world of muscles with this engaging unit study for ages 3-12+!! Through hands-on activities, creative projects, STEM experiments, and labs, children will explore the anatomy, function, and health of muscles in humans (and one day of the study is a comparison to our animal friends and their musculature!)

Here’s what we’ll cover each day:

Day 1: What Are Muscles? Types of Muscles
Learn about the three main muscle types—skeletal, smooth, and cardiac—and their roles in the body.
Day 2: Muscle Anatomy: How Muscles Work
Explore how muscle fibers, tendons, and bones work together to create movement.
Day 3: Major Muscle Groups
Identify key muscle groups like the core, arms, and legs and their functions.
Day 4: Facial Muscles and Facial Expressions
Discover how facial muscles allow us to express emotions and communicate.
Day 4: Group STEM - Muscles to the Max Lab
Day 6: Muscles & Energy
Learn how muscles get energy through nutrition and ATP, and the difference between aerobic and anaerobic energy use.
Day 7: Growing Muscles: Hypertrophy
Explore how muscles grow stronger and bigger through exercise and repair.
Day 8: Muscle Fatigue & Recovery

Day 10: Group ART - Foil pose sculptures
Day 11: Heart Muscle
Dive into the heart muscle and learn how it pumps blood tirelessly to keep us alive.
Day 12: Muscles in Humans Compared to Animals
Compare human muscles to animal muscles and their unique adaptations for movement.
Day 13: The Role of Muscles in Posture and Balance
Learn how muscles help maintain balance and posture for stability and health.

Day 15: Poetry Teatime Day - Read poems related to the theme, such as excerpts from Walt Whitman’s “The Body Electric” and enjoy our original, protein packed recipes! (Because muscles!)
Days 16-20 are always final projects which are creative and fun - and allow your new muscle experts to share their knowledge

This unit study combines science, art, and movement to create a fun, memorable learning experience. Join us for an exciting journey to discover the power, structure, and movement of our muscles!
