About the Project

When students can learn using a hands-on approach they are more interested, motivated, and involved. It also improves understanding and increases a student’s ability to master the material. Skeleton models will be used, along with clay, to sculpt the structures of the human body. The students will work in pairs throughout the year to build on their skeleton models. Studies have demonstrated that clay modeling is more effective than dissection for learning human muscles and that students prefer the clay-sculpting method of learning.
