We started off our science lesson today on the skeletal system by watching this video:

It was a GENIUS way to start (if I do say so myself)!

At just under 7 minutes, it was the perfect length to keep the childrens' attention. Bones are naturally interesting and, with all of the illustrations and animations, they found it entertaining. Additionally, it contained the exact kind of information I was hoping for. I loved it so well that I think I'll start more units with similar videos!
