Experiment with the structure of human arms and legs. Replace the arms and legs with body parts such as owl wings or dolphin flippers. Look at the skeletal structure of the new animals. Describe the functional effects of replacing the limbs. Explain how the structure of an animal's body is related to its function and environment. Print a worksheet of your customised design for a 'superhuman'.
Objective
Students relate skeletal structures in mammals and birds to their functions.
Students predict the functional effects of changes to skeletal systems.
