Let’s go step by step to label the skeleton correctly using the words given:
Words to use:
- thigh bone
- rib
- backbone
- collarbone
- skull
- kneecap
- pelvis
Now, let’s match each word to the correct part of the skeleton based on where the lines point.
1. The line pointing to the head → that’s the
skull.
2. The line pointing to the shoulder area (top of chest, near neck) → that’s the
collarbone.
3. The line pointing to the long bones in the upper legs → those are the
thigh bones.
4. The line pointing to the curved bones around the chest → those are the
ribs.
5. The line pointing down the center of the back → that’s the
backbone (also called spine).
6. The line pointing to the hip area → that’s the
pelvis.
7. The line pointing to the front of the knee → that’s the
kneecap.
Now, let’s assign them to the blank boxes based on their positions in the diagram (from top to bottom, left to right as shown):
Top-right box (pointing to head) →
skull
Top-left box (pointing to shoulder) →
collarbone
Middle-right box (pointing to ribs) →
rib
Middle-left box (pointing to backbone) →
backbone
Lower-middle right box (pointing to hip/pelvis area) →
pelvis
Bottom-left box (pointing to thigh) →
thigh bone
Bottom-right box (pointing to knee) →
kneecap
Wait — let me double-check the layout from the image description (since I can’t see it but know standard skeleton labeling):
Typical labeling for this kind of worksheet:
- Top right: skull
✔
- Top left: collarbone
✔
- Middle right: rib
✔
- Middle left: backbone
✔
- Lower middle right: pelvis
✔
- Bottom left: thigh bone
✔
- Bottom right: kneecap
✔
Yes, that matches all 7 labels and 7 blanks.
Final Answer:
Starting from top and going clockwise or by position:
- Skull (head)
- Collarbone (shoulder)
- Rib (chest)
- Backbone (spine)
- Pelvis (hips)
- Thigh bone (upper leg)
- Kneecap (knee)
But since the question asks to “label the skeleton using the words below” and there are 7 blanks with arrows, we must list which word goes in which box.
Assuming the boxes are arranged as follows (based on common CGP worksheets):
Box 1 (top right, arrow to head) → skull
Box 2 (top left, arrow to shoulder) → collarbone
Box 3 (middle right, arrow to ribs) → rib
Box 4 (middle left, arrow to spine) → backbone
Box 5 (lower right, arrow to hip) → pelvis
Box 6 (bottom left, arrow to thigh) → thigh bone
Box 7 (bottom right, arrow to knee) → kneecap
All words used exactly once.
Final Answer:
skull, collarbone, rib, backbone, pelvis, thigh bone, kneecap
