• Standard 3: Life Science: Students know and understand the characteristics andstructure of living things, the processes of life, and how living things interact witheach other and their environment. (Focus: Biology-- Anatomy, Physiology, Botany,Zoology, Ecology)• Key Idea 3.3: Students know and understand how the human body functions,factors that influence its structures and functions, and how these structures andfunctions compare with those of other organisms• Grade/Level : Grades K-4 Performance Indicator : describing human body systems (for example, digestive,respiratory, circulatory, skeletal, muscular);
Local Standards:INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY SKILLS CONTINUUMStandard #2 Productivity Applications: Students use technology tools to enhancelearning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.
2D Multimedia - Uses basic creativity or authoring tools such as KidPix, HyperStudio,and/or PowerPoint to create a multimedia product2D.1 Creates a picture story
Lesson Outcomes:Students are able to describe the skeleton, muscles, and joints of the human body intext format.
Assessment:This book can be developed as students work on the skeleton, muscles, or joints. Itcan also be used as a summative assessment at the end of the FOSS Human Bodymodule.
Assessment/Rubrics:Rubrics:Human Body Textbook
CLASSROOM & TIME MANAGEMENTStudent Prerequisites:Students need to be able to write a descriptive paragraph.Students need to have completed various sections of the FOSS Human Body unitbefore writing the text.
Lesson Preparation:Class study of the human anatomy should be concluded or in progress beforebeginning this project. Resources from the classroom or Internet should be availablefor reference.
Time Frame:6 class periods. 45 Min. per class.
Implementation Steps:The students will be using a HyperStudio template document for this project called"Storybook". It consists of a title page and a blank graphic and text page. The pagesalready have navigation and "textbook" graphics embedded. The pages can be

duplicated and should be before adding content. The students will need anintroduction to using HyperStudio that includes:
• How to navigate between pages of the "stack"• How to access the graphic text tools. The tools work in much the same way as theones they already know so very little details about tool use is required.• How to change from the editing tools to the Browse tool and what that means.They must use the Browse tool to navigate.• How to access the saved project later. Since they are using the template documentthey may not know that they are using HyperStudio as their application. They maygo back to the Storybook document button and launch a new blank document. Showhow to launch HyperStudio directly and use File Menu > Open to locate their savedfiles.
Have them begin with the first content page not the title. There will be time to addthe title and credit line at the end. Decoration of the title page can be timeconsuming and slow down the project if you allow it to happen first.
Have them format each page as a descriptive textbook page would be formatted. Itshould include a title a and text that is appropriately formatted. The descriptiveparagraphs for each type bone, joint, or muscle should be written first. The illustrateeach page in the graphic area.
Proceed through list of topics.
Save often and print if desired.

STUDENT PRODUCT(S)Product(s) Description:Students create an electronic book describing bones, muscles, and joints of thehuman body. Pictures and diagrams are created by students to further theirexplanations of these systems and body parts.
REFLECTIONComments:A teacher could have students write an electronic book for just muscles, joints, orthe skeleton.The rubric might also be separated into Language Arts and Science rubrics, ratherthan a project rubric.Note: The paragraphs for muscles, joints, and the skeleton can be spread over thepages to go with each of the student illustrations. (e.g., sentences on each type ofjoint could be on a page with a picture of each type of joint)
