Bones, Muscles, Motion!

$19.50

How many bones are in the human body? We’ll find out as we learn how X-rays work, build a life-sized skeleton, and assemble a working arm to see how bones make our body move. Students will learn about bones, muscles, and how they work together. While the lesson plan incorporates many different Pennsylvania Learning Standards, it focuses on the key learning area of “Approaches to Learning through Play.” Specifically, students will learn to engage in activities that meet the PA Standard Areas of Social Emotional Learning, Science, and Visual Arts.
