A while back some of the Magic School Bus science kits were on sale on Zulily and I snatched up those that had to do with our science theme this year (anatomy, health, germs, body systems, etc.) and one of them that I got was the Human Body Lab kit which has included in it, a plastic mold of the human skeleton for you to put together and use as reference for study purposes. Since we're getting ready for our year to start and we have a little science station in our school room, I had Zoey put it together the other day so we can have it out and ready.
These kits are geared for kids ages 8-12 and I will say that for some of these pieces I had to help push them together...they were tough! I guess that's good though as it means that hopefully our skeleton will stay together for most of our learning. I was honestly surprised at how durable it was.
Here it is up on our manipulative wall space for science. I have clings to label all the body system parts for later in the year, I got the clings from Educents.
And of course Zoey with her Mr. Bones! He's a pretty nice size and scale don't you think? In addition to this activity there are several others in the kit for Z to do later here once school starts. We have to pace ourselves.
We are counting down the days until the first day...September 1st for us. Is it strange that we're excited?
