About this worksheet
A cloze passage for Year 3 science on skeletons and muscles. Pupils use each of the twelve words in the bank once. The passage, The Living Framework, gives the skeleton three jobs: support, protection and movement. It names the spine, skull and ribs, then explains joints and how muscles contract and relax in pairs at the elbow. Think and Apply asks for two leg joints and a sentence with one bank word. The answer key gives all twelve gaps in order. It follows the England National Curriculum Year 3 objective on skeletons and muscles.
