How do our muscles and bones work? | BBC Teach
Using a skeleton, elastic bands and rubber gloves, presenter Zoe demonstrates to a group of children how our muscles and bones allow our body to move. We hear about how some animals have exoskeletons, and graphics on a tablet demonstrate the bone structures holding the children up.
Animal's Skeletons for Kids | Exoskeleton Endoskeleton & Hydrostatic
Skeletal systems In today's video, we will explore animals' skeletons and why animals have skeletons. We will also explore how animals' skeletons are different by investigating the three different types of skeletons: - Hydrostatic Skeleton - Exoskeleton - Endoskeleton Skeletons: Animals have skeletal systems to support their bodies, allow them to move and protect their internal organs.
