Writing  Scientific report: Bones Bones are one of the most important things in your body. They help you move, protect your important organs and they can even mend themselves if they break. You have over 206 bones in your body but when you are born, you have over 300. Bone is so strong that one small piece can support the weight of an elephant.   When you take a step, you move 62 bones in your legs, feet and pelvis. When you nod your head, you move 22 bones in your skull. If you didn’t have bones, you wouldn’t be able to move. You couldn’t do anything without bones. Your bones are so important. They protect your important organs. Your ribs protect your heart and lungs and your skull protects your brain. Your skeleton is used for heaps of things. Without bones you couldn’t do anything. Bone is very hard but easy to break. You can even die if you break your neck or spine bone in the wrong spot. It is very hard to break a bone in the same spot twice. When you break a bone you are sent to get an x-ray. On the 8th of November, 1895, Wilhem Roetgen, a German scientist was working with electricity when he discovered a new kind of light. It passed through paper, tin and books. It made skin invisible and the bones light up. Wilhem Roetgen stayed in his lab for the next 2 months, experimenting on his new invention called the ‘x-ray’. Within months, doctors around the world were using the x-ray to diagnose broken bones. You have twice as many bones as a giraffe – and many other mammals. The reason is because you have hands and feet. Most of your bones are in your hands and feet. Other mammals don’t have hand and feet bones. Without bones you would be a big pile of skin. You wouldn’t be able to sit, stand, run, walk or do what you are doing now. You can do hardly anything without bones. This is why bones are one of the most important parts of your body.        <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'; msospacerun: yes;"> <span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; text-decoration: none; mso-no-proof: yes; text-underline: none;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'; msospacerun: yes;"> <span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-no-proof: yes; msospacerun: yes; msonoproof: yes;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif';">
