Level#1 

Muscles and tendons can be injured when you play sports. An injured tendon can take months, and sometimes even years, to heal. You can avoid this trouble by doing a lot of stretching before and after exercising.

1. What can be injured when you play sports?





2. How long can it take an injured tendon to heal?





3. How can you avoid trouble with your muscles and tendons?





4. What is the name of Scout's brother?






Level#2


Muscles and tendons can be injured when you play sports. An injured tendon can take months, and sometimes even years, to heal. You can avoid this trouble by doing a lot of stretching before and after exercising. Stretching keeps both muscles and tendons flexible. Good technique will also help you avoid injury. For example, lifting weights the wrong way often leads to and injury.

1. How can you avoid an injury to your muscles and tendons?





2. What does stretching do for your muscles and tendons?





3. Why is good technique important and what is an example of what can happen to you if you don't use it?





4. Who do Scout and Jem become friendly with when he visits for the summer?








Level#3

You can avoid this trouble by doing a lot of stretching before and after exercising. Stretching keeps both muscles and tendons flexible. Good technique will also help you avoid injury. For example, lifting weights the wrong way often leads to and injury. Most important, if something hurts, stop! Do not act as if an injury is not there. You will just make it worse. If you feel pain or discomfort in your muscles or tendons, rest for a few days. If it does not go away, see a doctor.

1. What can be injured when you play sports and how long can a tendon take to heal?





2. What can you do to avoid a sports injury and why?





3. What should you do if you feel pain during sports or exercising?





4. Write a sentence using the vocabulary word, MUTILATE, to show that you understand the meaning of this word.

*To improve your MATH SKILLS spend at least 20 minutes practicing them using IXL.COM. (REMEMBER TO ENTER YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD WHEN LOGGING ON! THAT WILL BE PROOF THAT YOU DID IT!

Level#1

Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle moves your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones.

1. What are bones attached to that allow you to move?

2. What type of muscles can you control so that you can move?

3. How do voluntary muscles work to allow you to move your skeleton?

Level#2

Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle moves your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones. When a muscle moves, it contracts, or shortens. When a muscle relaxes, it lengthens. Muscles can only pull. For this reason, skeletal muscles work in pairs. Most voluntary muscles work in teams of two to move bones.

1. Explain how skeletal muscle allows you to move.

2. Explain what happens when a muscle moves and what happens when it relaxes.

3. Skeletal muscles can only pull. Explain how they move bones?

Level#3

Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle moves your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones. When a muscle moves, it contracts, or shortens. When a muscle relaxes, it lengthens. Muscles can only pull. For this reason, skeletal muscles work in pairs. Most voluntary muscles work in teams of two to move bones. For example, the upper arm has the biceps and triceps muscles. The biceps muscle is the muscle in the front of your upper arm. The triceps muscle is in the back of your upper arm. The two muscles work together when you move your arm.

1. Explain what type of muscles skeletal muscles are, what they can do, and what a muscle does when it moves.

2. Since muscles can only pull, explain how muscles work to move bones and give an example of a pair of muscles that do this.

Level#1

Your bones cannot move on their own. They move because they are attached to muscles. Tendons are a type of tissue that connect muscle to bones or to other muscles. your body has more than 600 muscles. Almost half your body weight is muscle weight.

1. Why are your bones able to move?






2. What type of tissue connects muscles to bones or other muscles?






3. What part of your body weight is made up of muscle?








Level#2

Your bones cannot move on their own. They move because they are attached to muscles. Tendons are a type of tissue that connect muscle to bones or to other muscles. your body has more than 600 muscles. Almost half your body weight is muscle weight. There are three kinds of muscle tissue in your body: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle move your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones.

1. What do your tendons do that can allow you to move?






2. What kind of muscle is attached to your bones and what type of muscles are they?






3. What do voluntary muscles do and how do they do it?

There are three kinds of muscle tissue in your body: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle move your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones. Smooth muscles are involuntary. They work whether you want them to or not. They work even when you are sleeping. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of your blood vessels and intestines. Smooth muscles are not attached to bones. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary muscle found in your heart. Cardiac muscle works all the time. It keeps your heart beating.

1. About how many muscles do you have and how much of your weight is muscle?

2. Explain what smooth muscles are, and where they are found in the body.

Level#1

Nearly one-and-a-half million people have joint replacements each year. Doctors use an artificial joint to replace the damaged joints. Most common are hip and knee replacements. Artificial joints generally wear out within ten years.

1. How many people a year have joint replacements?





2. What do doctors use to replace damaged joints?





3. What are the most common joints that are replaced?

Level#2

Nearly one-and-a-half million people have joint replacements each year. Doctors use an artificial joint to replace the damaged joints. Most common are hip and knee replacements. Artificial joints generally wear out within ten years. Bone cement fixation is one method used for joint replacement. The artificial joint is placed between two bones. Bone cement sets it in place. The new joint is designed to function like the natural joint. In another method, bone cement is not used. The artificial joint and the bone are designed to fit and lock together exactly.

1. What do doctors do to replace people's damaged joints?






2. What are the most common joints replaced and how long do they last?






3. How many methods of joint replacement are there and how are they different?

The new joint is designed to function like the natural joint. In another method, bone cement is not used. The artificial joint and the bone are designed to fit and lock together exactly. Artificial joints may not be needed in he future. Recently, engineers at the University of California have developed an artificial tissue that works like real cartilage. This tissue may help repair injured or arthritic joints. The artificial tissue may also be able to bring back flexibility to people with damaged joints.

1. What do doctors use to replace damaged joints?





2. Explain which joints are most commonly replaced and how long do replacement joints last.






3. Explain both methods used by doctors to replace damaged joints.
