We, the 8th grade, went to the science lab to dissect a chicken wing since we are studying the human body in science class. We wanted to see how the muscles made the bones move and we simulated that by kind of squeezing the muscles, a kind of contraction and by doing that the wing would start moving. It was kind of strange but nice at the same time. After that, we took the muscles out of the bones and broke the bones so that we could observer the inside part, where the bone marrow is located and blood cells are produced. Either way, we had lots of fun or it was nice going to the laboratory and learning how our muscles and bones allow movement in our body.
