Chapter Name: Movements in Animals
Activity Name: Pelvic girdle in Movements in Animals
Activity Description:
The experiment aims to help you understand the concept of the pelvic girdle, which is a part of the skeletal system in the human body.
By pressing the area just below your waist with your fingers, you can feel similarly shaped bones on both sides of your body, which represent the pelvic girdle. The experiment will provide a hands-on experience for you to locate and feel these bones.
Required Items:
- Your own body

- Take a moment to observe and familiarize yourself with the location and shape of the pelvic girdle.
Experiment Observations:
- When pressing the area just below your waist, you will feel a solid bone structure on both sides of your body.
- These bones are similarly shaped and can be identified as the pelvic girdle.
- The pelvic girdle encloses the portion of your body below the stomach and is also the part you sit on.

Through this experiment, you have learned about the pelvic girdle, which is an important part of the skeletal system.
The pelvis bones form the pelvic girdle, which encloses the lower portion of your body and serves as a support structure. Understanding the pelvic girdle helps in comprehending the movements and stability of the human body.
