No Bones About It....

We have been back for a week now since Christmas Break and getting back into the swing of the school year.  We have been learning about our skeletal and muscular system and have about two more weeks left.  Last week we dissected chicken wings and looked at how bones and muscles work together to support the framework for our movement.  This week we will be learning about the 3 classes of levers as well as the joints in our skeletal system.  We will also be starting our owl pellet dissection! From the bones of the owl pellets we will rebuild the skeleton of what the owl ate.
Our next unit we will be learning about all of our different organ systems and yes, another dissection! :)
