Beginner Level
*Please note that I prefer students to keep their video open while in my lab classroom and keep chatroom conversation to a minimum. 
Day 1 
Parts of the Skeleton
Students will have a fun activity using bone card labels to print and then place on their own bodies. 
They may use the Parts of the Skeleton diagram to follow along to do this hands-on activity.
How can you tell how old a person is by looking at its skull and skeleton?
Lab:
Print out Bone Card Labels and cut out before class. 
X-ray observational study by reviewing online images.

Day 2
Parts of a Long Bone
Label a long bone using stickers. (save a turkey or chicken leg bone)
Lab: What does acid do to a bone? What does heat do to a bone?
Optional Lab: How do I make a rubber bone lab? This is a progressive lab since the student will need to leave the bone in a jar with the ingredient needed and then observed throughout a 2-week period.

Smallest Bones in the Body
Joints
Lab: Let's make a paper model of the three smallest bones in the ear.

Lab: Comparative study of Mammalian bones. Students will observe and sketch various skulls. They will view and sketch mammalian femur, pelvis, and vertebrae.

I have taught Forensics to children for twenty years. So the study of x-rays and mammalian bones is one of my expertise.
