Bone model

Make a model of bones and the skeletal system. Compare livestock species with different models. OLT

The kids and I have decided to study the human body systems this year for our science lesson. We have been doing lots of learning about the...

We made a bone model to make sure the kids understood the layers of a bone.

Learn the skeletal system for kids with FUN human body projects and ideas for all ages like lego layers of bone, candy spine, and more!

In answer to a query the girls had, we spent some time exploring bones. After doing our research we decided to make our own bone to test its strength. We took a piece of paper and stuck drinking straws on it (the paper is the periosteum and the straws represent the compact bone/Haversian canals) once we rolled it up we stuffed it with cotton wool (for the spongy bone) wrapped around a string (marrow). They matched the labels to the bone model then wrote up their notebook pages. The favourite…

I was inspired by the edible bone models I've come across, to create a non-edible bone model I could keep in the classroom for use year afte...

Grab some skeletal and muscular system activities - a DIY musculoskeletal system model, information sheet, and graphic organizers.

This is a picture of a model of the muscular and skeletal system in the arm that I created last year and recently rediscovered! In it, I recreated the arm by using string, balloons, and straws to be the muscles, tendons and bones. When I blew into the straw on the top of the arm (the bicep), the balloon inflated which tightened the string around it which pulled the lower part of the arm up just like when the muscle contracts. It reminded me of the model from lab!

The adult human skeleton consists of more than 200 separate bones (often around 206 individual elements) whilst the juvenile skeleton can have over 300 individual elements (predominately in newborn…
