Super Skeletons — Year 3 Science

This lesson explores the three jobs of the skeleton (support, protection, movement), names real bones from skull to phalanges, and shows how muscles work in pairs. Children hunt for bones on their own bodies and sort animals into endoskeleton, exoskeleton and no-skeleton groups. It is a ready-to-teach PowerPoint scaffold for an hour-long Year 3 science lesson on animals including humans, finishing with a thumbs-up quiz and healthy-bones tips.
