This activity fit in well with the Grade 5 study of body systems and the grade 4 study of animal adaptations.
We were also lucky to have Sonja, T's mom, who is a veterinarian, come and talk to the class. She wowed the students with X-rays and a dog skeleton. The students asked good questions about her experiences as a veterinarian. Meet Big Bob the Rat and a dog with puppies (inside her)!
