About Me

Aim : As to attract the attention of primary school students on biology subject, the ordinary teaching manner is seem like less applicable nowadays. This website we created to target the primary school students (aged 10-12 years old) who are always familiar with the application on internet to study on the physiology (function) of the skeletal system. The skeletal system is a living system of bone and cartilage. Learning about the 206 separate bones, and the joints that connect them, can be a daunting task for any student. Through the activities and games that we created here, it will make learning about the skeletal system enjoyable, teachers can impart a basic knowledge of the skeleton that will stay with kids for the rest of their lives.

Conclusion and References

CONCLUSION

Skeletal system is important for human. However, “the human body is not designed to
last forever” (Weber, Z., and Prof. Ying, S., 2005),bone fractures may occur in sometimes on a normal person caused by some accidents or bone defects that born with affect a person’s life. Therefore, artificial bones are used to solve these problems. Artificial bones play an important role in bone grafting. It is used to replace the bones that are fractured in order to perform normally in daily life. Although artificial bones may have some impacts on human body, but they can help a lot of people in order to achieve their goal and fulfill one’s dream.
