Science - Functions of the skeleton (26.01.21)

Hi Class 3, I hope that you enjoyed finding out about the bones in our skeleton last week and making your moving skeletons. This week we are going to find out about the functions of the skeleton and also how we move using our muscles. I have included some links below for you to follow for information and also some videos to watch. You can also use the link for the video from last week to watch the whole lesson or from 19 minutes to find out about muscles and how they work. 

Before you begin to investigate the skeleton and muscles this week think about the following questions:

What would happen if you didn't have a skeleton?

How could you pick up your pencil if there were no joints in the bones of your hand? 

How do the joints in your body move?

Your Task:

To find out more about the skeleton, joints and muscles and complete the activity sheet labelling different areas of the skeleton. (Can you use both the common names and scientific names for the bones?).

Extension: Make a model to show how muscles work.

Enjoy learning more about your skeleton and muscles Class 3.
