About this word search
The Kneecap and the Collarbone have proper anatomical names, the patella and the clavicle, which some older pupils enjoy learning. The Eardrum is a thin membrane that vibrates when sound reaches it, passing the movement on to the tiny bones of the middle ear.
Shoulder blade and Belly button are long and lose their spaces. With every direction in play over eighteen squares, they make good anchors. The double L in Skull and the K in Knuckle help after that.
For a science lesson, sort the words into skeleton, organs and outer parts, then label a simple outline of the body.
