BENDY BONES

OSTEOLOGY is the study of bones. I have learned what some of the bones in the body are called, such s the humurus (thigh bone), tibia (shine bone) and patella (knee bone). We watched The Happy Scientist show us how to tell whether a skeleton is a male or a female, e.g. the pelvis is a different shape and the back of the skull is too. He also did an experiment to make bones go from hard to floppy by putting them in vinegar. We tried it too.

SOLAR ECLIPSE 20 MARCH 2015

 

It was a bit cloudy when the eclipse started but we could see some of it safely through the clouds with our sunglasses on. When it became clearer we looked at it through our telescope by projecting the image onto a piece of white paper. It was amazing!
