How Bones Work
Bones are hard and strong, just like the sticks in a chair. They hold your body up and give it shape. When you run or jump, your bones help you stay steady.
What Bones Are Made Of
Inside each bone is something called bone marrow, which is like a special soup that helps make red blood cells, the tiny helpers that carry oxygen all around your body!
So, bones are not just for standing up, they're also working hard every day to keep you healthy and moving!
Examples
- A child breaks their arm after falling off a bike.
- An old person has weak bones and gets fractures easily.
- Bones are like the frame of a house.
