Animal X-Rays

Which bones do all the vertebrates have in common? Do turtles have teeth? Children will soon find out as they explore the bone structures of 13 real animals.

Actual x-rays have been computer-enhanced to show the animal’s body outline surrounding the skeleton, allowing young children to more readily recognize the animal. Many possible uses in the classroom — compare individual animals, identify common traits and differences, or sort into vertebrate classes. Images are printed on heavy, transparent plastic, suitable for photocopying as well as direct study. Each of the five vertebrate classes are represented. Ages 5 and up. Set contents listed below.
