Liz Dilts on 15 Feb 125.4.1 Investigate technologies that mimic human or animal musculoskeletal systems in order to meet a need.5.4.2 Investigate the purpose of prototypes and models when designing a solution to a problem and how limitations in cost and design features might affect their construction.5.4.3 Design solutions to problems in the context of musculoskeletal body systems. Using suitable tools, techniques and materials, draw or build a prototype or model of a proposed design. Differentiation: For ELL and special education students; Create the model hand with the class as they create it. Go step by step and do the process with them so they can watch you and hear the directions you are giving.

Have students look up a prototype online that mimics a human musculoskeletal system. Have them share with the class the purpose and prototype. Next, as a class students will create a model hand using simple materials such as string, paper, and a pen or pencil. Have the students create this hand and see how the "tendons" mimic the musculoskeletal system in a real human hand.
