Why is he famous?
We started our topic by focussing on the famous runner Usain Bolt.
Just how fast is he?
We learned that • His 100m time of 9.58 seconds during the
2009 World Championships in Berlin is the current world record.
We researched how he can run so fast and discovered that…
John Barrow at Cambridge University who has previously analysed how Bolt could become even faster, explained his "extraordinary large stride length", despite having such an initial slow reaction time to the starting gun.
He has lots of fast twitch muscle fibres that can respond quickly, coupled with his vast stride is what gives him such an extraordinary fast speeds.
We grouped different skeletons
The hydrostatic skeleton, exoskeleton, and endoskeleton support, protect, and provide movement to the bodies of different types of animals
We thought about how many bones are there in the human body? 206
This led us onto some math work focussing on word problems.
We know that skeletons are very important to make our
bodies work. But we also thought about the
importance of muscles.
Muscles and joints What do you think a joint is?
A: A joint is where two bones meet. It can be movable or fixed.
Q: Why do you think we have joints?
A: If we did not have joints we would find simple tasks like eating very difficult. Any movement needing bending would be impossible!!!!
After learning all about the skeleton we moved onto learning about an artist who focussing on
the human form
Alberto Giacometti
We used the IPADS to find out that
He was also a friend of Pablo Picasso
• We initially looked at the different shapes Usain Bolt’s skeleton made during a race.
We decided to recreate our own Giacometti sculpture
