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.
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.
In this unit, you will delve into the fascinating world of human bones. From the skull to the legs, discover the vital roles each bone plays in our body. Learn about the human skeleton, identify important bones, and understand the functions of key body parts. Engage with interactive activities and broaden your knowledge of the skeletal system.
