Human Body – Our muscles & skeleton

Human Body – Our muscles & skeleton

Hands-on Science Incursion on how we move!

Students will gain an appreciation of the complexity of the human body and life in this fun school science workshop when your classroom becomes a biology lab!

In this anatomy workshop, we help students understand;

  • that all animals are either invertebrates with no spine, or vertebrates with a spine
  • that the human muscular and skeletal systems work together to enable movement
  • that the human skeleton offers protection and support
  • Model how bones, muscles and joints work together to cause movement
