Bones and Muscles


An Experiment about...Your Bones and Muscles!
Think it
Muscles and bones provide the framework for your body. Most anything you do, including running, chewing, and standing require muscles, which move your bones. Even talking requires muscle—the tongue. So does reading—the movement of your head and eyes.
Materials: - Open space for exercise, pencil and paper
