Our new skeleton
friend (Dr Travis Skelly- as Y4P named him) has been very useful in helping us
to identify the bones of the body. We now know the names of many of our bones …
we can’t know them all, there’s 206!!
Today we have
focused on the vertebrae and why it works so well. We inspected the skeleton
and each other’s backs and guessed how many vertebrae there were. We then used
pipe cleaners and straws to show how our back would be if it was one long bone.
We then worked out that by cutting the straw it would show how each vertebrae works to provide movement.
