Bones & Skeletons, Grade 4-5 (Insights)

At the start of this module, students are given a mysterious gray object: an owl pellet. They examine it and find many small bones inside. Three questions, "What are bones?," "Whose bones are they?," and "Where do they come from?" focus the investigations. Learning experiences that explore human bone groups, teeth, and joints, as well as the skeletons of other animals help students develop an understanding of bone structure and its relationship to function.
