Talk about 'Dem Bones



The students in room 122 have been learning a lot about the human body in the last few weeks. In preparation of our field trip to Millis Regional Health Education Center, the students did a number of activities related to the skeleton. In these pictures, students show off their marshmallow creatures, that wouldn't have existed without the aid of their (toothpick) skeletons! In order to learn more about joints, students used K'nex to explore this element of our skeleton (hinge, ball and socket, and gliding). We learned a groovy new dance to help us learn the bones. Ask your student to perform for you at home!
"The cranium (skull!), connects to the mandible (jawbone!), connects to the clavicle......."

It's science--we out.
