Description This resource is a group project to be assigned to students so that they may study a single joint in-depth. Each group is assigned a common problem or affliction that affects a synovial joint. The students will learn the bones, musculature, and other structures of the joint as well as learn about the etiology and pathophysiology of the common problem/affliction assigned.

This seems like an excellent idea.  I plan to have the students make a video rather than perform an in-class oral presentation (rules still apply but students can have some fun with it).  This saves class time, which is very valuable in A & P.

The resource includes 3 templates for students to evaluate the presentations/posters of other students and participation of other students in their own group project that could easily be adapted for projects other than the joint one described here.

Thomas Phillips, University of Missouri


Thorough and well designed project.  In addition to the scientific education of joint physiology, students are learning presentation skills, scientific literacy, research and resource utilization, and critical evaluation.

It's wonderful that there is prompt to describe the condition from the macroscopic level to the biochemical level - and how they interrelate.

Elissa Carney, American Physiological Society


The final presentation assignment is very detailed and provides clear guidelines for the students.

Rebecca Evans, Granville Intermediate School
