Imagine you're back in school, and you're learning about the human body. You open your book and see the flat image of a skeleton on your page. You imagine what it must really look like and try to study as best you can. Now, imagine you're a student today. ... That's where the imagination stops. Thanks to new technology developments in projection and filming, students soon will be able to see the human body and other complex images, projected up close and in three dimensions. Welcome to the real education of the future.

eSkeletons features interactive models of mammal skeletons. Choose a model from the home page menu and explore the bones at various angles. Models provide labeling for more detailed explanation of the bones and some provide short video displays of the bone you are viewing. On the resources page, teachers will find activities to support the curriculum including life size skeletal print-outs, word searches and more for elementary, middle school and high school age students.
