Student Exploration: Muscles and Bones
Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and
prompts in the orange boxes.
Vocabulary: actin, biceps, cartilage, contract, extend, fast twitch fiber, flex, fulcrum, humerus,
lever, ligament, muscle fiber, myofibril, myosin, powerstroke, radius, sarcomere, skeletal
muscles, slow twitch fiber, tendon, triceps, ulna
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1. When you lift a weight, what part of the arm is doing the most work?
The muscles in the arm like the bicep and tricep.
2. How do you think your arm muscles cause your forearm bones to move?
When the arm muscles contract, the forearm bones react by
moving toward the upper arm.
Gizmo Warm-up
In the Muscles and Bones Gizmo, you will learn about the
anatomy of the arm. You will build an arm model, then test its
ability to lift a dumbbell and throw a ball. You will see how
making adjustments to the arm can affect its ability to lift and
throw.

, To begin, make sure you are on the ANATOMY tab, the entire
arm is shown, and no circles are open. Select Hide muscles.
Click Play.
1. Describe what the arm bones are doing.
The arm bones are moving closer together as they contract.
2. Turn off Hide muscles and turn on Show labels. Describe what the biceps and triceps are doing as the
forearm moves up and down.
As the forearm moves down, the tricep is contracting. As the forearm moves up,
the bicep is contracting.
