Model of Prosthetic Leg
Give the class a leg up in their understanding of engineering. A STEM activity has learners design a prosthetic leg that can kick a ball. They build a prototype of the prosthetic, keeping track of the design costs associated with their...
Curated OER
Engineering Bones
Pupils identify the features of a prosthetic limb and explain how engineers are involved in the prosthetic design. For this bone engineering lesson students describe the design criteria that goes into choosing the materials that go...
Curated OER
Prosthetic Party
Students examine human anatomy by creating a prosthetic limb. In this medical engineering lesson, students view numerous images of prosthetics used in science today and define several medical terms associated with prosthetics....
Curated OER
Prosthetic Limbs
Pupils create a simple model of the muscles in hand opening and closing the it. They make the model move a block in a specified direction.
