Grade FIVES - please read this blog to the very end for all your instructions.

Please have a piece of paper ready to record your answers to the quiz. Once you are done, come back, look at the answers and give yourself a mark.

Hint: "Cartilage" is the substance which cushions and protects the bones where they meet. It is a type of dense connective tissue. Your nose is made of cartilage, so are your ears. Another harder type of cartilage is found where two bones meet, for example around your knee area and in between each of your vertebrae.
