    The document describes three activities to teach students about the functions of bones. Activity 1 involves using a paper doll, wire and tape to demonstrate how the backbone allows one to stand upright and bend. Students then feel their own backbones. Activity 1B uses a cooked chicken head to show what is inside the skull - the brain. Activity 2 teaches that bones, muscles and joints work together to allow movement, with muscles connecting bones and causing them to move at joints. Activity 3 identifies bones that protect internal organs like the ribs, skull and pelvis.
