Skeletons are more than just decorations for Halloween – bones and muscles are an important part of our body. Understanding how and why to take care of our bones and muscles is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
Use our lesson plans to start open conversations, encourage curiosity about health and the body, and inspire discussions about what it means to feel safe.
