Anatomy

Students discover the mechanism by which their muscles control their bones (i.e., how their bodies move!). In this activity, students make a model of a human finger. Students construct this model and observe how pulling on a string (a model for tendons) causes it to bend at the joints.

This cardboard maze could be the most fun and interesting way to teach preschoolers about digestive system.

This simplified model of an articulation or joint, will help teachers show kids (3-12) how muscles, bones, tendons hinged by articulations work. It is inspired by the elbow joint and it is meant to show how the arm moves.The model requires additional tubes, preferably cardboard, and some long balloons (the type to build balloon animals out of), and optionally tape and latex glove to make the hand. This makes it ideal for crafts project for kids to do. It is customizable so it fits all tubes...
