The Strongest Bone in Your Body

We tested to find out what the strongest bone in your body was. We did an experiment where we had four different note cards, which stand for the shapes of the bones. There was a tee pee, a square, a long cylinder, and a short cylinder. We found that the cylinder shaped bones are the strongest shaped bone in the body was. The cylinder shaped bones are found in your arms and legs.
First you need a piece of paper and four note cards to make the shapes. Then we used paperback books and laid them on each shape. When we got twenty paperback books we started using hard back math books. The piece of paper is to record how many books each shape held.
The long cylinder shape held twenty paperback books and four hardback math books. The short cylinder shape held twenty paperback books and three hardback math books. The square held twenty paperback books and one hardback math book. The teepee didn’t hold any books at all.
