PROJECT LEAD THE WAY
MODULE 3 Structure & Function:
Human Body
Students will explore the
relationship between structure and
function in the human body. They
will look at major structures, or
organs, within the body and
investigate how the structure of each
organ is related to its function. Once
students establish an understanding
of basic structure and function in the
body, they will then take a deeper
look at the functions of bone. They
will assemble a skeleton and create a
model X-ray of a hand. They will
then act as scientists to perform an
inquiry investigation to understand
why fingers are made up of more
than one bone. Finally, students will
work through an engineering design
process to design and build a cast to
aid healing of a broken bone.
S.S4.C1.PO2 Name the following
human body parts:
head
shoulders
arms
elbows
wrists
hands
fingers
legs
hips
knees
ankles
feet
heels
toes
PLTW MODULE 3
Q1 Why do different
parts of our bodies have
different structures and
functions?
Q2 How do scientists
find answers to
questions about the
world around them?
Q3 How do medical
professionals diagnose
and treat patients who
have broken bones?
PLTW MODULE 3 Students will be able to independently use their learning to …
Identify how a structure of a body part is related to its function in the human body.
Ask questions, make observations, and investigate ideas in order to acquire knowledge and solve problems.
Apply a step by step design process to solve a problem.

MODULE 2: Pushes and Pull
As students investigate different pushes and pulls on the motion of an object, they will develop knowledge and skills related to forces of differing strengths and directions. The exploration will include pushes and pulls found in their everyday world. The students will be challenged to refine a design and successfully solve a problem. Students will reflect on the effect of modifying the strength or direction of a force. S.S5.C3.PO1 Investigate how
applied forces (push and pull) can
make things move.
PLTW MODULE 2
Q1 How can an engineer
use pushes and pulls
when solving a problem?
Q2 Why is the structure
of an object important?
Q3 Why is the function
of an object important?
Identify everyday uses of
magnets in toys, cabinet locks
and other objects.
PLTW MODULE 2 Students will be able to independently use their learning to …
Evaluate a problem in a new and novel situation.
Apply a step by step design process to solve a problem.
