The idea for this lens came after watching a recent episode of Hannah Montana there she comes up with a song and dance, "Doin' the Bone Dance" as a way of remembering her anatomy for a test. I had the catchy, song get in my head and wondered how effective it might be in teaching children their bone anatomy. Halloween is a great time to introduce bone anatomy to children and to be less afraid of skeletons as symbols of death. I started using skeleton puzzles to teach children about bone anatomy in 2006. I have gone into my both of my daughter's classes for two years now with a skeleton floor puzzle. I have taught bone anatomy to preschool children, Kindergarteners, First and Second graders. The puzzles are an effective, interactive way to teach children about the bones in the body and to be less afraid of skeletons at Halloween. This lens provides a review and information about creative, innovative ways of teaching children about the anatomy bones. Photo Image: Learning Resources. Skeleton Floor Puzzle.
