COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT PLANNING TEMPLATE
--FIRST DRAFT-Grade Level or Course: 8th grade science
Authors: Christine Willman
Assessment Topic: Human Body Systems
Selected Power Standards: List standards by number and include the full text
here. Then “unwrap” to identify what students need to know and be able to do.
Underline the concepts (important nouns or noun phrases) and circle the skills
(verbs).
C17: Explain how the human musculo-skeletal system supports the body and
allows movement.
GLE’s
1. Investigate and explain in writing the basic structure and
function of the human skeleton system.
2. Differentiate between the structures and range of motion
associated with ball, socket and hinge joints and relate human
joints to simple machines.
3. Demonstrate how the muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones
interact to support the human body and allow movement.

Big Ideas from “Unwrapped” Power Standards
1. The muscular and skeletal systems interact to support the
body and allow movement. Parts of a system work together to
make the whole entity work. The five main functions of the
skeletal system are: to shape and support the body, protect
internal organs, enable movement, form blood cells and store
minerals.
2. The skeleton muscles are attached to bones by tendons
and they are responsible for the movement of the body.
Joints are places where the bones come together and body
movement can occur. The structure of the joint determines
the kind of movement possible.
4. The cardiac muscle is responsible for the pumping action
of the heart and the smooth muscles are related to the
movement of the internal organs.
Essential Questions Matched to Big Ideas
1. What two systems interact to support the body and allow for
movement? What are the five main functions of the skeletal
system?
2. What are the four types of movable joints and why are they
important?
3. How does the structure and function of the skeletal muscle
compare and contrast with the cardiac and smooth muscles?
