Learning about Our Bones in the Orchard Class

Last week we learned about our skeletal system and the important role our bones play in protecting other organs in our bodies. The children worked on skeleton booklets, made a Mr. Bones skeleton man with toilet paper & paper towel rolls, and created an x-ray image of their hand using Q-tips. We also took a look at some x-rays of the various bones in our body with our light box. We ended the week by making a cheesy skeleton Mr. Bones snack.

I have attached some pictures for you to enjoy!
