Points to Study:
1. How many bones are in the human skeleton?
2. What are some functions of our bones?(support, protection, attachments
for muscles)
3. What are bones made of?
4. Why can bones move?
5. What are different kinds of joints?
6. What can we "feed" our bones?
7. How can x-rays help doctors?
8. How are broken bones fixed?
9. What is a vertebrate?
10. What is an invertebrate?
11. Learn the major bones of the body.
The MSB book teaches them as you read, from feet to head. We took washable
marker and marked the bones on our own skin as we learned them in each
chapter, then recited them all day. All the kids remembered them(at
the time they were 1, 2, and 6).
12. Compare human skeltal system to different animals using the Eyewitness
Visual Dictionary.
