Skeletons

Today, in science, we explored the importance of our skeletons in a practical experiment. We attempted to get a body to stand without a skeleton. We then thought about what makes a good skeleton. We discovered our bones, as humans, need to be made out of a strong and sturdy material. We also learnt that our skeleton, as humans, needs to be present across our body if it is to support our range of movement. We learnt skeletons are required for support, movement and protection.
