	The Human Skeleton

The skeleton is the framework of all the bones in a human or animal body. The bones are the hard parts of the body, which protect the organs inside and round which are the flesh and skin.

After these two basic concepts, let’s learn the names of the bones that shape the human skeleton. Do so on this page. Then complete the following chart with the bones and joints, if there are any, that form each part.

When your chart has been filled with all the information choose one or two bones and tell your classmates the most important information about them. The other students must take down the information you give them. Be ready to do the same with 'their bones'.

Finally, identify all the bones in this picture.

Once you have finished you can try to ‘assemble’ this interactive skeleton.

Afer this, you may take a look at the next activity: the human muscles.
