Bob the skeleton.

Meet Bob. We made him this morning.
This morning we have learned about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the people of Pompeii. Then followed that with looking at skeletons and building Bob.
I learned some new things too:
The 'bodies' in Pompeii are actually plaster that was poured in the air spaces that archaeologists found. I did wonder how the bodies turned to stone!
Tortoises shells are actually their back bone. I had thought that they were similar to armadillos, with a spine running through the center of the body. Fascinating!
Love home ed - I'm learning loads. :-)
