**Our bones have many layers of tissue and cells. When you grow, the layers of tissue grow along with you as you grow too! When you have already grown, bone tissue continues to form within your bones. The bones of a baby are smaller and they have about 275 bones and the adult has 206. They have smaller bones and the adults have more bones. You can help your bones to grow better and stronger by getting a lot of physical activity and calcium. Your body replaces and removes calcium. If it removes more calcium than usual, your bones are getting weaker.** ======

=Injury & Repair: =

Our bones are definitely not made out of rubber so if we fall or accidentally hurt our bones we can brake or fracture it. A bone can be injured if you fall off the monkey bars or a skateboard. If you hurt it really bad you would have to wear a cast. ======
