Dem Bones, Dem Bones... Learning about our framework with friends...

Yesterday we had our biweekly A&P project group with our HS friends...

We started out by going over some info from Blood and Guts.

This is a great book for any human body study.. the lessons and projects in it are easy to use and understand... We talked about the different bones ~ long, short, flat, etc.... and then discussed the different types of hinges found in the body...

After this discussion, we moved on to a game of Skeletal Simon Says by calling out different bones and the kids having to touch these places... That was a lot of laughs!!!!



Then we went to the craft table and began working with some clay ~ the object being that the kids would realize that without bones our bodies would just slump like a clay figure not being able to stand~ but with the addition of bones (toothpicks) we were able to stand upright and have mobility... We had lots of unusual people made today...

� before we added�bones

��� and after� TA - DAH!!!

Then we watched some brief video clips from BrainPop... Love these videos!!! BrainPop is a pay site bt you can see a preview of one of their skeletal videos here.

We watched a DK Eyewitness video on the "SKELETON" and then played one last game of "PROFESSOR NOGGIN's HUMAN BODY"...
