“Chicken Wing” Lab
Focusing Questions
1. What makes up a chicken wing?
2. What can you learn about the
structure of a human arm by taking
apart a chicken wing?

Analysis Questions
1. What is a tissue?
A tissue is a group of similar cells that have a
similar function.
2. List 8 kinds of tissue.
Skin
Connective tissue
Fat
Muscle
Tendon
Bone
Ligament
cartilage
Tissue Types
Appearance
Location
skin
Tan/pink, pores, stretchy, moist
outside
Connective tissue
Clear, shiny, tough, stretchy
Under skin, covering muscle
fat

phalanges
ligament
Short, white, strong band
Attaches bones at joint
cartilage
Glistening white
Ends of bones at joint
Other-blood
Red, chunky
Marrow at end of bone
AQ#3
3a. Ligaments and tendons are similar because:
• They are white
• No blood supply
• Slick and smooth
• Shiny
• Strong
3b. Ligaments and tendons are different because:
• Tendons connect muscle to bone
• Ligaments connect bone to bone
• Tendons are longer and thinner
• Ligaments are shorter, heavier an thicker
• Ligaments are at the joint
• Tendons are along the muscle
AQ#4
Based on your observations, how would
you describe
a. muscle tissue?
A group of muscle cells
b. A muscle?
A bunch of muscle tissue
AQ#5
Create a double bubble to compare
chicken wings to your arm.
Think about tissues, design and
movement.
