Bare Bones Anatomy

Get hands-on with the human body! This interactive kit features 6 rotating stations where students explore the structure and function of major bones and muscle groups. Stations include activities like assembling a skeletal puzzle, identifying muscle groups using models, exploring joint movement, and learning about muscle contraction.

Designed for 24 students rotating through stations in small groups, the kit comes with all materials needed for each station, clear printed guides, and video instructions to help students and facilitators engage deeply with anatomy basics.
