Bones, Bones, and more Bones....

We are still working with our Human Body science kits. We are trying to learn the names of some of the bones and what their purposes are. We decided to make it a "life size" project. First, we needed some "life size" bodies....this took a lot of team work.
Gorgeous models and artists, don't you think! Next, the bodies had to be cut out.
Finally, it was time to add the bones. The kids had to draw the bones in and then label as many as they can. I should have taken a picture of the final project but didn't think of it. However, they are proudly on display in our hallway if you happen to stop by!
The Human Body really is a "puzzle". The teachers thought this would be a quick project but we were wrong. It is much harder than it looks, even with a guide to follow. Such concentration!
It was hard, but still a lot of fun. These kids are truly learning the meaning of "perseverance". That is the word of the year in 4th grade. With a little perseverance, we can do anything!!

Watching these "future scientists" at work is one of the highlights of my week!
