Chicken Lab, December 2008
Science is a fun class! Dr. Kramer was our guest lab instructor helping us identify muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels in a chicken leg. After studying the circulatory system, the nervous system, the respritory system, the skeletal system and the muscular sytem the third graders got to find for themselves different elements of each.
Cutting through the layer of skin to expose the muscle was great. Pulling back those muscles revealed tendons and ligaments. It was easy to tell which was which by what it was attatched to.
 
Having learned that a nerve is the size of a hair Dr. Kramer found an actual nerve for us to see and hold! It took on a whole new meaning, it really was what we had learned!
 
Natalia commented, "We are being real scientists!"
