Conclusion

Wow what great researchers you are! 
You dug up information on bones such as the femur, ulna and tibia, and uncovered that they protect our internal organs, and provide a frame for our body! You all made wonderful posters to display your hard work! Our posters will be displayed in our hallway for all to enjoy and learn about our amazing skeletal system!

Introduction

Bones!

Our Skeletal System

Dr. McCoy needs your assistance in excavating information on what’s under your skin! Bones! Over the next week you will use resources found on our class blog to dig up more information on the skeletal system, one of our bodies most important structures. 

All of us are made up of many bones and our bones do many things. As Dr. McCoy’s amazing assistant you will need to uncover the following question about bones: What are the main bones in our body and why are they important?

You will be presenting your findings in a poster, designed by you!
