SYNOVIAL JOINT MODEL PROJECT

Names of Group Members: ______

1. Make a group of either 4 or 5 students.

2. Pick a synovial joint in the body (ie. elbow, shoulder, knee, wrist, thumb, neck, etc.) and confirm your choice with your teacher.

3. Research your selection and fill out the chart provided below. (You may download the original MS Word file from http://dderousie.pbworks.com).

4. Make a model of the synovial joint you selected. Be certain that your model:

- is made from sturdy, high quality materials. You should consider visiting an art store to find materials ideally suited to represent anatomical structures (ie. bones, ligaments, tendons, etc.)

- contains all key structures that you listed in the chart in step 3 (ie. ligaments, tendons, bones(with landmarks))

- is a realistic, detailed reproduction of the actual joint.

5. Hand in your chart, a title page (listing the name of the assignment, all group members, course code, teacher, etc), and your model on or before the due date.

6. Be sure this piece of paper (and the rubric on the back of this piece of paper) are handed in with your project.

7. Submit the attached group work evaluation form. Each individual in the group should have the same answer on page 1 of the group work evaluation, but individual answers on the 2nd page.

(Due date to be determined, but it will not be before September 28th, 2009!)
