In our studies of the human body, we have just finished modeling the human hand. Students used string as tendons and straws for the tendon sheaths. Together, these allow the muscles in our forearms to close our fingers. Here is Natalie attaching her tendon sheath to her model hand.
For some 4th graders, making a life science model of the circulator system was a must! After tracing their body, these students added a heart and lungs. Then they began to add in major blood vessels. In this photo they have labeled arteries and veins leaving the heart. They just need to finish the arteries and veins that take blood to the lower body- those are pretty important!
Best,
