An adult’s skeleton seen from the front, with fourteen bones to name: the skull and the mandible; the clavicle, the sternum and the ribs; the vertebral column and the pelvis; the humerus, the radius and the ulna in the arm; and the femur, the patella, the tibia and the fibula in the leg. Print it labelled, with what each bone is; to label, with empty boxes, a word bank that gives each bone’s everyday name and three questions; or with the names to cut out and glue in. The labelled sheet follows as the answer key.

Labelled names the fourteen bones on the picture, each joined to its bone by a line, and puts a sentence on each, with how many bones an adult has, on the page after it. To label leaves a numbered, empty box for each bone, puts the names in a word bank and, on Letter and A4 in portrait, asks three questions that the answer key answers. To cut and glue prints the names in dashed tiles to cut out and glue into the boxes, then the labelled sheet as the key. In Colour the bones print a pale ivory; Ink saver prints the skeleton as outlines, to colour in.
Most of these bones have an everyday name as well as a science name: the clavicle is the collarbone, the sternum the breastbone, the femur the thigh bone, the patella the kneecap, the tibia the shinbone and the fibula the calf bone. The word bank prints both, so a child who knows where the kneecap is can find the patella; the answer key gives the science name. The radius and the ulna have no everyday names of their own: they are the two bones of the forearm. The skeleton stands with its palms forward, as anatomy books draw it, so the radius is on the thumb side, away from the body, and the ulna on the little finger side.
An adult usually has 206 named bones, which the National Cancer Institute’s SEER Training Modules list one by one: 80 in the head, the backbone, the ribs and the breastbone, and 126 in the shoulders, arms, hips and legs. More than half of them are in the hands and feet: 54 in the two hands and 52 in the two feet. A baby is born with about 270 bones, and some of them join together on the way to the adult’s 206 (Wikipedia, “Human skeleton”).
