Science in the Environment Unit 1 Living Things Outcome 2.1 Identifying Body Parts - Bones
Learning Intentions / Success Criteria LI Today I will learn the names of some important bones in the human body SC I will be able to name 8/10 bones correctly
The Human Skeleton The skeleton is the name given to the full set of bones in a human body There are 270 bones in total in an adult s skeleton.

The Skull The skull is the main bone in the head. It acts as a helmet, protecting the brain. The other important bone in the head is the jaw. Humans use this to open and close their mouth (i.e. to eat, talk etc.)
The Torso Your shoulderblade is at the top of your back. It helps you move your arms and shoulder. Your collarbone runs across your chest from the top of your arm, connecting your shoulders to your ribcage and supporting your arms. The ribcage protects your heart and lungs. It is made up of 24 ribs and the breastbone which runs up and down the middle. The hip bone is part of the pelvis, which protects the organs in the lower body.
The Backbone The backbone (or spine) is one of the most important bones in the human body. It runs from the skull down to the bottom of your back. There are a lot of nerves around your spine which carry information and instructions from your body to your brain and back again. If you damage your spine you can be paralysed and left unable to walk or even killed.
The Arms The big bone that runs from your shoulder to your elbow is called the humerus. The bones between your elbow and your hand are called the radius and the ulna There are 27 little bones in your hands.
The Legs The thighbone (or femur) is the largest and strongest bone in the human body. The kneecap (or patella) helps the leg bend and connects the thigh to the shin. Another important bone in the leg is the shin (or tibia). It is the thick bone between the knee and the foot.
Name of Bone Draw a line between the name of the bone in the box on the right and the area of the body in the box on the left where it is found. Back bone / spine Skull Shin / tibia Area of the Body Collar bone HEAD Humerus Ribcage Ulna TORSO Hip Jaw ARMS Radius Knee cap / patella LEGS Shoulder blade Thigh / femur
