The kiddos have recently gained deep interest in bones and the skeletal system! This interest was brought about from the GoNoodle (movement app we use daily) song called "Bones!" Essentially it is a dancing skeleton that dances and names off all the different bones in our body. The kiddos LOVE this song and it has completely flooded our room with questions. One of the questions that have come up are: - Do bones have blood? - Why dont skeletons have eyes? - Do bigger people have more bones? - Why dont skeletons have hair? eyes? skin? nose? mouth? ears? - How do bones eat? We embarked on our first research project and found out all the answers to our questions and more! We used informational books, songs and the internet to find out more about our skeletal system. What we learned: - There is blood inside blood vessels inside our bones - Bones do not have skin - There are 206 bones in adult bodies, however children often have more until they fuse together - Bones and muscles work together so we can move - The longest bone in our body is the femur - Bones protect the things inside out body like our organs The kiddos thought it would be a great idea to draw skeletons and label some of the bones that we have learned about! They did a fabulous job of drawing their skeletons and labeling them. They were quite knowledgeable when it came to naming the bones as well! I am so proud of how they turned out and so are the kids. We added a red bow for a little holiday flair!
