Skeleton Unit Lay Out for Parent Day

Deer Tray with coloring page. Fur, hoof, etc.

Large black tray is a drip tray for boots. Also handy for water works.

Actual bones I found in the forest are matched to cards.

Note of interest: The huge white tray is made to go under a washing machine and can be found at a hardware for under $5. Very handy for many projects

Poor dead rabbit from my yard is paired with fur, pictures, books, etc.

Parts of the Cow Skeleton

Bone Unit

Originally, my assistant brought in parts of a cow that died on her family farm. It is not unusual for a farm to have a pile of bones somewhere. Then, while visiting Mt Rushmore I spotted a super cool roadside hut covered with bones. I knew that was the place to find my own cow skeleton! Found a book that had a good picture of the whole guy and made Parts of the Cow Skeleton vocabulary cards for the kids to copy and make their own book. It is a favorite and students remember this lesson for years after!
