Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to the Skeletal System	5	Begin with a brief introduction to the skeletal system, highlighting its importance for structure and function. Use questions to engage students and assess prior knowledge.
2	Key Components of the Skeleton	10	Present a diagram of the human skeleton and identify major bones. Use the realistic skeleton model (if available) for hands-on learning. Discuss each bone's function briefly.
3	Interactive Group Activity	10	Divide students into small groups. Provide worksheets for them to label bones on a diagram. Encourage collaboration and discussion within each group.
4	Video Clip Presentation	3	Show a short video demonstrating the skeletal system in action, highlighting movement and protection of organs. Follow with a brief discussion.
5	Conclusion and Homework Assignment	2	Summarise the key points covered in the lesson. Assign a homework task that involves students researching a specific bone and its function (to be submitted in the next lesson).

Homework

Research a specific bone in the human body. Prepare a short written summary that includes its location, function, and any interesting facts. Homework will be collected at the start of the next lesson for review without student presentations.
