2) Review the diagram below of the bones.  There are more bones in the body but we are going to focus on these main ones.  Make yourself a set of flashcards.  One side should have the name of the bone and the other side should have its location in the body (eg. upper arm, foot, head)

3) Whack a bone -- Visit the whack-a-bone website and you can practice remembering where they are.

We are going to play Simon Says with bones in upcoming lessons so be prepared! 

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING...on explaining how living things work by describing what MRS GREN stands for
• We are FOCUSING...on comparing human body systems to structures in other living things (eg. fish, birds, reptiles)
