Bones Curriculum Cover

In Bones: More Than They Appear, we dig down to the bone and bring it straight into your classroom. You and your students will embark on a skeletal journey full of amazement and intrigue. You'll discover why our bones are actually living things inside us and how engineers and architects have studied bone structure to design modern-day skyscrapers.


The Bones: More Than They Appear unit of study was designed to complement the Children's museum of Indianapolis newest exhibit Bones: An exhibit Inside You. A trip to the museum not on the agenda yet? That's okay too. Using the Bones unit of study is almost like bringing the exhibit out of the museum and into your classroom.
