Ensure
student is looking at Part 1 of Body Parts task.
This activity is called Body Parts. There are two parts
to this activity. First you need to label the parts of the body by dragging
the names into the boxes. You drag by holding down the mouse button, then
moving the mouse until the information is dragged to where you want it.
You can practise that by moving the picture of the mouse to the mousehole.
Give the student any necessary assistance with moving the mouse
to the mousehole, but do not give similar assistance with the task items. |

Commentary
Most year 8 students knew little about the position and function of the
diaphragm. Many were also confused about the relative positions and roles
of the stomach, liver and kidneys. There was almost no difference in performance
between 1998 and 2002. |
