Boney Research - Room 4

Second graders took notes for the first time in library, listening to Dem Bones by Bob Barner and learning such information as:


  • Where is your patella? 
  • How many vertebrae are in your spine? 
  • Where is your clavicle? 
  • How many bones are in your foot? 
  • Which bone is the longest? 

Then we created a list of questions they had about bones and practiced using a table of contents to find the answers. Here are some of the facts they learned:

  • A muscle is attached to a bone by a tendon. 
  • Bones are made of water and calcium. 
  • Broken bones can heal themselves, but they can't move during the process.
  • Joints have different names. One kind is a ball and socket.

And here they are at work:
