The Human Body

We have been studying the human body for a while now. Here are some pictures from our projects about bones and muscles.

Studying x-rays. (As you can see, Ely felt it necessary to "dress the part".

Taping the word for certain bones and muscles in the right place on their bodies. When we were reading the section on muscles the book mentioned that that Ham is so named because when one eats ham they are eating the hamstring muscle of a pig. After I read that part, Ely refused to tape the word hamstring to his body.


Models of a hinge joint and ball and socket joint



Felt muscles and bones attached by velcro. They really enjoy sticking things the their bodies but they were not at all impressed by my very quick (before the baby wakes up) attempt at drawing rib bones.
