Labeling the Skeletal System

This project was inspired by my workout project. I wanted to learn more about human anatomy. Since muscles are a lot more complicated, I decided to focus on memorizing major bones in the human body. In this project, I drew and labeled major bones in the human body.

Facts:

  • Humans have 206 bones in their body

  • Babies are born with 300 bones

  • There are 27 bones in  each hand and 26 bones in each foot

Learning & Reflections:

  • Learned all the major bones in the body

  • Practiced drawing and labeling

  • Next time have a bigger sheet of paper and cut of excess
