How Our Bodies Move
KS 1, 2; First, Second Stage.Â
Ages 4 - 11
DURATION:Â 45 mins - 55 mins
​
OVERVIEW:Â This show explores the anatomy of the human body, giving children an understanding of the biomechanics that make movement possible.
We discover how muscles give us facial expression, enable digestion and how the heart keeps us alive. We then compare and contrast bone structure and movement in other vertebrates and invertebrates.
Animals used in this workshop
Key Workshop Objectives

• Discuss how muscles work, and which muscles never stop
• Explore the locomotion of various animals and how their bodies allow them to move this way
• Compare and contrast bodily workings between humans and animals
