2) Whack a bone -- Visit the whack-a-bone website and you can practice the names of the bones.

3) 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)

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)
