Skeletal System

New bulletin board!  We just started studying the skeletal system so I thought this would be great to have in the classroom.  Today we played Simon Says with only using the correct name of bones.  It was really helpful for kids to look at the board as we played the game.  Tomorrow we are going to be in the lab observing dried rib bones and large beef bones from the butcher.  The kids are very excited!

Chromosomes and Food

I haven't done either of these activities yet, but I think the kids would like both of them!

To learn the phases of mitosis, decorate doughnuts.

Sheep Eyeball Dissection

This was my first time dissecting an eyeball.  Needless to say, the students loved it!
