As we continue learning about the different systems within the human body, we have now shifted from the digestive system to the skeletal system. We discussed the different types of bones found in our bodies and how they, along with our joints, help us to move around. We also unpacked the importance of x-rays and how they were first created. Then we created our own version of ‘x-rays’ using construction paper, vegetable oil, and crayons. What do you think?!

Did you know that one of the  first uses of the x-ray was to find bullets and broken bones during the Balkan War and the first person to discover x-rays was German physicist W.C. Roentgen?

Have a listen to the song below! It helped us to understand each of the names of the different bones that make up the skeletal system 🙂
