The Bone Burrito

by Akaela and Brody We were studying bones in science and we decided to build a model showing the different bone layers. It is called the Bone Burrito. The taco shell represents the periosteum which is the top layer of the bone. The jelly represents the bone marrow. Found in the bones it makes red and white blood cells and platelets. The angel food cake represents the spongy bone of the cancellous. The Nutter Butter represents the compact bone which is the Hard Bone. The licorice represents the blood vessels that take blood to different parts of your body. To make the Bone Burrito you need a taco shell, jelly, angel food cake, Nutter Butters, and licorice. First you take the taco shell and lay it flat, then you put the Nutter Butters on the taco shell. Next you will need angel food cake and you put that on top of the Nutter Butters. Fourth you will put the jelly on the angel food. Then you roll it. After you fold it you will put the licorice around it. That is how you make the Bone Burrito.
