Today we talked about our bones and skeleton. We started out building a large skeleton model from Easy Make and Learn.
After reading about our bones in Blood and Guts, we looked at a picture labeling a skeleton from Evan Moor.
We felt our ribs, scapula, and patella. We briefly talked about the different joints and noticed how our hips can rotate but our knees only bend one direction. We learned that babies have many more bones than adults and learned how a bone grows by adding calcium deposits to each end until they are fully grown. Also, the collar bone is the last bone to stop growing.
you are making me want to stop and do human body in a big way...but I won't...we are on to robotics next week and Elijah will pass out if I tell him otherwise ;)
