This term in science we are learning about the human body systems. This week we took on the skeletal and muscular system. For further observation we became scientists and dissected chicken wings. By exploring the skeletal and muscular system of a chicken we were able to make comparisons between the chicken wing and a human arm. It was clear after the project was introduced that certain students were not as excited to participate and be involved as others. Many students had their stomachs challenged as they witnessed the dissection processes. Those who wanted to work on the chicken wing were able to experiment with the tools, a pair of forceps and dissection scissors. While everyone else was able to provide the directions and make observational notes. In the end the activity was a great learning experience and the chicken wing undertaking was a great visual representation and reference to the human anatomy.
