Question From Mr. Kenny

Hello Mrs. Lyver's students,

We've taken a look at your resources that you posted on the Muscular and Skeletal systems and your comments about what you learned. We thought many of the sites you picked for us were perfect. Many thanks!

There is one challenging question that my students wanted me to ask you. Maybe certain sites you sent will help. Our question is:

" Why are bones so strong?"

We're in need of this information very soon. Can YOU PLEASE help?

Thanks in advance,
Mr. Kenny
and my 4/5 Grade Class in Bath, Maine
