How to reference this medium
The teacher instructions include information on the following: the main question, relevance to the curriculum, skills, notes on conducting the subexperiments, the research group, further research assignments, and the reference to technology.
The experiment comprises two subexperiments:
• Stable bones
• Facial gymnastics
Although bones and muscles play such an important role for us, we generally do not know enough about how they look or even behave in our body. Doing facial gymnastics routinely, however, helps us be more consciously aware of our face in everyday life and how to loosen it. This relaxes us as a result. It is therefore important for children to develop a sense of their own bodies and to know more about the components, such as bones and muscles.
Notes:
• Observe the safety information in the instructions as well as the applicable safety guidelines for your school.
• All materials mentioned in the instructions will have to be purchased directly from commercial sources.
