Human Joints Model - Set of 5

A complete set of the five principal joints — hip, knee, shoulder, elbow and foot — supplied together so students can compare hinge, ball-and-socket and gliding movement side by side.

How it works

1. Lay out the five joints together
2. Group them by the type of movement they allow
3. Demonstrate each joint's range of motion

What students learn

• Identify hinge and ball-and-socket joints
• Compare the range of movement of each joint
• Relate joint type to everyday movements

Try these experiments

1. Sort the five joints by joint type
2. Compare hip and shoulder with knee and elbow
3. Match each joint to an everyday action
