Davy’s Science Class (3 Parts)

About this Course

Do you have any idea about how awesome God created our bodies? Our body is made up of parts and systems that all work together to keep us alive and healthy. It only makes sense that out of all the things there are to study, we study about the body that makes up who we are.  The neat thing is that we don’t have to wait to “grow up” before we can investigate how our bodies work. My name is Caleb, I’m 8 years old, and I’m going to be your guide through this class on the skeletal system. I have an assistant who will help us as we study together.  He’s much older, but don’t worry he still loves science, and together we’ll make this class a fun and exciting adventure.
