This cyber lesson was created to be used as a whole class instructional tool over the course of a month in four lab class sessions.

1. Cyber-Lesson on the Skeletal System Part 1- This will include slides 1 through 4. I will have the students complete the KWL Chart on their own computers and then print it out.

2. Cyber-Lesson on the Skeletal System Part 2 - This will include slide 5.

3. Cyber-Lesson on the Skeletal System Part 3 - This will include slides 6 through 7. I will have the students complete the KWL Chart on their own print out from previous lesson.

4. Cyber-Lesson on the Skeletal System Part 4 - This will include slide 8. This lesson will act as a wrap up lesson for the cyber-lesson and the lessons on the Skeletal System.
