Bendable Bones


 We had to borrow a kindergarten student to finish a study we were doing in 5th/6th grade science about age and how it affects the ratios of head circumference to height and leg length to height.  
The 5th/6th graders are learning about the endocrine system.


The 5th /6th graders found out how important calcium is for STRONG bones.  Chicken bones were placed in vinegar for a week and the results are seen above in the two photos.  The students also learned about the chemical reactions that took place to make the bendable bones. 


 We have been blessed with some beautiful late summer weather to keep us outdoors for p.e. class.
