Educational worksheet about the human skeletal system, highlighting bone functions, structure, and health tips.

- Bones are made of living, growing cells.
- Babies are born with nearly 300 bones, but adults have about 206 because some smaller bones join together as we grow.
- The skull protects the brain, the spine supports the body and protects the spinal cord, and the ribs form a cage to protect vital organs like the heart and lungs.
- Bones are very strong despite being light; it usually takes a serious accident to break one, and healing can take a month or two.
- To protect bones, wear safety gear like helmets and knee pads during sports, consume calcium-rich foods like milk and dairy, and engage in active exercise like running, jumping, and dancing.
