My Body In Action - Set of 10 Cards

Understanding how bones heal is a critical concept in both biology and human health education, and the Broken & Fixed Bones Kit is a hands-on way to explore this topic with students. This engaging resource allows learners to compare X-rays of fractured bones with those that have been medically treated, offering a visual representation of how medical intervention can restore skeletal integrity. Ideal for use in health, science, or early medical education settings, this kit can spark meaningful discussion about the human skeletal system, injury, recovery, and medical care.

By examining real-life imaging, students can appreciate the complexities of bone structure and the importance of proper treatment following injury. This comparison also helps illustrate how medical technologies and orthopaedic techniques assist in returning functionality to broken limbs.
