Our
favourite experiment
Dissecting a chicken leg
We like
this experiment because is very interesting and we
could see
the interior of the chicken and it had bones, tendons and muscles. The bones
had a stranger white liquid.
To do this
experiment we need a chicken leg, a knife, scissors and forceps.
STEPS:
-First
step: place the chicken leg, skin side up.
-Second
step: turn the chicken leg over.
-Third
step: turn the chicken leg to the skin up position.
-Fourth
step: remove the remainder of the skin.
-Fifth
step: pick up the leg and bend the joint.
-Sixth
step: using scissors, carefully cut away some of the muscle to expose tendons
(white areas of the muscle) that connect the muscle to the bone.
-Seventh
step: carefully cut away the muscle, fat, tendons, etc. To expose as much of
the bone and joint as possible.
-Eighth
step: carefully break the hinge joint.
-Ninth
step: carefully break the largest bone. Do not crush the bone.
-Tenth
step: review the various parts of the skeletal system and how the systems work
together.
