Description This lab is designed to allow students to correlate muscle structure and function. Using tape, students will build muscles on a skeleton and explore how muscles move the body. They will be able to correlate origin and insertion with muscle actions and correlate muscle contraction with movement.

This muscle activity is well designed and is ideal for A&P1 class. I am planning on using this activity in the fall of 2016 for my students. This is the second time I am teaching this class and I feel this activity is well planned to teach the action of muscles. For many students it might be is easy to memorize the names of the muscles but it is important to understand the action of these muscles as well.

This looks like a great lab to do with my A&P I class - one with no prerequisites. I plan on trying this one out this fall. Thanks for sharing a valuable activity such as this one that helps to illustrate so much important information on this subject.

This laboratory activity is appropriate for teaching muscle actions, as well as the concepts of agonist, antagonist, and muscle fatigue. This would be a really wonderful and engaging hands-on lab activity to do with first time anatomy and physiology students.
