There’s a whole new way to learn science. Jump in and start exploring the human body, starting with the skeletal system. The time is now, so get started and find out where it takes you.

• Detect six joints that move while shooting a basketball.
• Recognize joints as the place in the skeletal system where two or more bones come together.
• Identify four types of movable joints.
• Distinguish between pivot, ball-and-socket, hinge, and gliding joints.

App features:
