Hurumanu 2 | Bones | Working Hand |

During last week and this week we for the other science part of Hurumanu 2, we have been learning about the bones in our bodies and what each bone do. We have also learned how our hands work, we have made a working hand out of a paper hand, yarn strings, and some straw. 

Anyway, how do our hands work? Our hands move by the muscles in our forearm, however, only thin tendons which are holding the muscles are found directly in our hand. The tendons represent the yarn strings that we have made on our working hand, and the straws represent the bones. 

How we made a working hand: 

You will need:

• A paper hand
• Straws
• Yarn Strings
• Tape

Methods:

1. Cut out the paper hand.
2. Cut some pieces of straws mostly the same length.
3. Tape the straws into where the fingers are. 
4. Put the yarn strings inside of the straws, then tape the yarn strings at the end.
