Tues - The Skeletal System

Today we did an activity to learn about the skeletal system and the major bones of the human body.

We began by assembling models of the human skeleton, and then learned the names of the major bones.

Questions we answered:

1. What is the purpose of the skeletal system?

2. How many bones would you guess are in your body right now? Justify your response.

3. Where is your femur? ...your radius? ...your pelvis? ...your clavicle? ...etc.

4. How does your skeleton model compare to an actual skeleton?

5. What are you wondering now?

We wrapped up with some physical activity using the Strength Stack 52 card based game.
