HSIE: The Skeletal System



Today in HSIE we are looking at the skeletal system.

Together we will watch this brief movie about The Skeletal System.

We will work with this interactive and take the quiz as a class!

We will write into our book:

The Skeletal System
Your Skeletal system is all of the bones in the body and the tissues such as tendons, ligaments and cartilage that connect them.
The main job of the skeleton is to provide support for our body. Without your skeleton your body would collapse into a heap. Your skeleton is strong but light.
Your skeleton also helps protect your internal organs and fragile body tissues. The brain, eyes, heart, lungs and spinal cord are all protected by your skeleton.
Finally, bones provide the structure for muscles to attach so that our bodies are able to move.

We will then construct our own skeleton using this printable.

We can also play the bone match game.
