Halloween Anatomy

Take advantage of this fun holiday to add interest to your class. Ask the students to buy large, inexpensive cardboard skeletons. The students should identify all of the anatomical errors on the Halloween skeletons. For instance, a common mistake is to have two lower arm bones. Some class sections can do one part of the body (the skulls rarely have the suture lines in the right places) and the other sections do another part.
