FoamBone Dissection: Exploring Bone Anatomy Lab Activity

Item: W-W 6280

FoamBones are made from a unique material that makes them lightweight, yet strong� FoamBones can be cut using traditional hand tools to reveal realistic internal structures� FoamBones provide an economical way for your whole class to cover osteological topicsUsing FoamBones and other materials included in this activity, students get an in-depth look at the structure and function of bone at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels. Students first observe the external and internal gross anatomy of a tibia by cutting through a tissue-realistic FoamBone to reveal compact bone, spongy bone, and even red bone marrow. They then observe the microanatomy of those same structures, as well as developing bone, using prepared microscope slides of real human bone tissue. Using a broken FoamBone and a special compound, the instructor will perform a unique and impressive simulated bone-healing demonstration. In an optional activity, students can witness the effects of calcium depletion on bones using chicken bones you supply. Includes enough materials for eight setups, a teacher's guide, and student copymaster. A compound microscope is required.
