The Skeleton

In the sixth year science classes we have been learning about the human skeleton and it's most common bones. New vocabulary includes: skull, spine, vertebrae, ribs, femur, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, tibia and fibula.

We practiced identifying the different bones using a paper skeleton. Next, we played a little game where as I did movements with the paper skeleton, the students had to copy these movements at their places.

In our next class we will do a craft activity about the skeleton. In this activity the students will use several different dry pasta shapes to glue a skeleton on a piece of paper and label it. Here are some examples from the internet:

And here are some photos of the students completing the project:
