Did you know that antlers help an animal regulate its body tempature? Have you ever seen how ribs function to accommodate the movement of the lungs? Do you know which animal has the strongest jaws, the most developed forelimbs, the most powerful legs? Skeleton, part of the Eyewitness video series, has these and many, many more facts about the toughest part of our bodies.
Skeleton is an ideal introduction to anatomical science for young viewers. Its visuals are fresh and interesting, its documentary footage is sharp, and Martin Sheen's narration is quite effective. Budding scientific minds will be fascinated by how our skeletons maintain bodily harmony, protect our internal systems, and give us balance and stability. This is another well-done chapter in the Eyewitness series. --Brendan J. LaSalle

Purchased video to use as supplement for History Of Medicine class (4th grade). Was unhappy with the way things of a "mystical" nature were included in the material. I don't understand how the Producers could justify including information on Tarot Cards in the video. After all, we were looking for information on Skeleton's, not an introduction into foretunetelling. Also,I didn't care for the many references to man's "evolutionary" process from beast to man. Again, wasn't looking for a intro. into the Theory of Evolution.
The material that did foucs on the Skeletal System was good, but cluttered with a great deal of unecessary tid bits that took away from the video itself. I ended up turning off the video about 5-7 mintues from the end.

My son loved this video from the moment he spotted it in our local library. He is fascinated with skeletons and this type of educational video. I couldn't believe how much he could comprehend at such a young age, but I attribute that to the excellent job Eyewitness does in producing entertaining and informative videos like this one.
