Bone up on these facts…
Strongest bone
The femur (thigh bone) is the strongest and longest bone in the human body. It joins the hip and knee. The funny bone isn’t a bone! It’s a nerve that runs close to the bone. When you bang it, it hurts!

Teacher Model Question OnlyHow much of our body weight is made up of bones?
Reveal Explainer
I will ‘look around’ for the key words ‘body weight’. I can ‘find and take’ the answer: 15 percent of our body weight is bones. That means that about 15 out of every 100 parts of your body weight are bones.
