Last week in Science, Year 3 learnt all about why joints in our bodies are needed for movement to occur. Firstly, we learnt about the 3 types of joints: ball and socket, hinge and gliding. We located where we would find these in our bodies. After this, we recreated our arms including the 3 different joints.
Step 1: We started with the shoulder, a ball and socket
joint.
Step 2: Then we moved down the arm to our upper arm and
forearm, a hinge joint.
Step 3: Lastly, moving down the arm to our wrist, a gliding joint.
The children had great fun getting creative and applying
their Scientific knowledge to a practical task. We hope you enjoy looking at
the pictures of some of the children proudly holding their final recreated arm!
