Making hands

We are learning about the body and how it works.

We have been exploring the skeleton and muscles and tendons.

We wanted to know how the hand worked and why we didn't have muscles in our hands, so we decided to create a model of a hand.

We cut out shapes of our hands, and used straws as the skeleton and strings as the tendons.

We had to cut slots so we could have knuckles and the fingers would bend.
