Muscles are attached to your bones to help them move. Without muscles you couldn't move at all! Muscles also give us strength. Muscles are constantly doing simple things like helping you blink or breath. They also do harder chores like help you run, jump, and play. So how do they work?
Explore Your Multi-talented Muscles and How the Body Works: The Muscles at KidsHealth. It takes a long time to load, so be patient. It is worth the wait! Then look at Muscular Introduction , and Your Gross & Cool Body: Muscular System and answer these questions:
1. Do you have more bones or more muscles? How do you know?
2. How do muscles work? List and describe the job of each type of muscle.
BONUS: Does your heart have anything to do with the Muscular System? Explain.
BONUS: How the Body Works Movies from KidsHealth. Select the movie for this system. (check for this - one it is coming soon!)
