Human Skull Anatomy Activity

Our brain is one of the most important organs in the human body. It needs special
protection...your skull! Its made up of the cranium (8 bones that surround your brain) and
another 14 bones in the face which make up your entire skull.
In this worksheet, we are going to review some of the major bones that protect and
surround your brain. The parts of the skull have been labeled. Your challenge is to write
the correct name for each part.
If you want to have more fun learning about bones, try our Bone Lab. You can use our
interactive tools and games to learn about the human skeleton and our busy bones.
