My Hand - Science

This term I made a hand out of paper and we used straws as the bones
so first we got a piece of paper that had a hand on it then we cut it out. 
After we cut it out we cut the straws into little strips then we sellotaped 
the pieces of straw on the hand, then we cut out string and put it through 
the wholes then it turned out like this. 

The tendons are the things that make our bones/phalanges move

The straws on the hand represent the bones that make up the hand. The string going through the strings represent the tendons. Three straws on each finger except the thumb to represent the bones in the fingers.

Bones:The bones in our body gives up structure without them our bodies would have no support. 
Joints: Joints are where two bones meet. They make the skeleton flexible without them, movement would be impossible.  
Tendons: Tendons connect muscles to bones, allowing us to move.
Ligament: Ligaments help to hold things in place.
Muscles: Muscles function to produce force and motion.
