Bones Kit

Learn about body structure, skeletons, and bones of human and animal bodies. Teachers can use pictures, a skeleton model, and other aids to provoke inquiry about bones and learn about the connection we have with them. All pieces of the kit can be handled and the word search can be duplicated as needed. The bones kit guide includes suggested activities such as construting a human skeleton, mystery bones matching game, and a bones word search.

Cost: $15/week
