New Year, new unit :)

Celebrating the birth of Christ was wonderful and being able to spend time with family a friends made it even more special.  As we start the new year off in my science class we will be starting our skeletal anatomy unit.  This is one of my favorite units as we will be dissecting owl pellets! We then lay out the bone to make a skeleton of the remains found in the pellet (usually of a rat, but sometimes we will get a baby bird).  The students spend about a week dissecting and putting it all together, and are very proud of their hard work.  As a class we will be learning the names of our bones, how bones and muscle work together, the names of different levers found in our joints and hinges, and how God designed our bodies for movement. :)
