You will need windows to tape your students’ finished skeleton hands to. (Light shines through the art revealing the bones of the skeleton.)
Pour about a tablespoon of oil into a cup for each group of 4 students. You will distribute these during the activity.
We’ve included a worksheet for students in Grades 3 to 5 to complete after making the skeleton hand. They will have the opportunity to compare the bones in their own arm with the bones in a bat wing.
