Before I get to our field trip, here is another crafty thing we did with bones.
Our field trip was to the grocery store where we found muscles and bones. Because the bones were cut through it was easy to see the marrow and reemphasize to the children what happens inside the bones. They thought that was interesting. Joshua also just liked poking the meat.
And our hands on experiment... this is kind of gross... we dissected Cornish game hens. We put on our doctor outfits (the masks were because 1, I didn't want the kids touching the raw meat and then their faces, 2, Abigail threw up all over the couch last night so Derek doused it with Spray N Wash and our house was so full of chemicals it was really hard to breathe, and 3, Abigail still had the flu and I don't want to get it... again. I didn't make her wear it all day.) We found lots of skin and muscles and bones. We found joints in the wings and we found bone marrow also. This was a little yucky, but the kids were very excited about it and they enjoyed doing this alot.
And then we ate the hens for dinner.
