My skeleton
// The frame that holds you up
⏱ about 15 min

Monday: My skeleton

Rocket builds a tent. It flops down flat!

Raven asks, "What do you notice? What holds a tent up?"

Nova hums. "What holds you up?"

Bones hold you up

Inside your body are hard, strong bones.

All your bones together are called your skeleton.

Bones give your body its shape.

Bones hold you up, like poles hold up a tent.

Bones help you move.

Bones protect the soft parts inside you.

So many bones!

A grown-up has 206 bones.

A baby has about 300 bones.

As a baby grows, some bones grow together.

Bones are alive. They grow as you grow!
