Last week, we began our final unit in Science, Human Body! 
I introduced the unit with the children watching each other jump rope.
As they were jumping, the children recorded what body parts moved.
As a class, we defined the following vocabulary words. We will keep an ongoing word bank throughout this unit.
Then, as a class, we worked hard on trying to figure out how many bones are in our bodies.
They worked really hard to count the bones in each section of the body.
We finally came to conclusion (with a lot of debating) that our bodies have 206 bones.
Next, the children tried to put Mr. Bones together without any guidance from me.
I was quite impress on how well they actually did on this.
Here is Mr. Bones! There were only a few minor mistakes.

Yes, quite disgusting I might say, but the children loved it!
I love this picture of Jamey! She wasn't quite sure about this Owl Pellet thing.
One group found a rodent's skull.
Here is one groups fur and bones.
Molly is not too sure about this whole experiment. However, it did not take her long to finally dig in!
