The science unit for the second grading period will be the Human Body. More specifically, we will be studying the musculoskeletal system: the bones, muscles, joints, and coordination. The first lesson will consist of the students jumping rope, and then determining which bones, muscles, and joints are involved in those movements. They will count the bones in the body next, and then begin learning the proper names of the main bones in the body. Later in this section, they will dissect an owl pellet, and then reconstruct the skeleton of the rodent.
