“

way your jaw works?

What’s the same about it?
What’s different?”
The paper skull’s jaw works like a sliding door.
Your own jaw has a hinge — like the hinge on a laptop computer or the
hinge on a door.
If you put your hands on the sides of your head just below your ears, you
can feel this hinge moving as you open
your mouth.

WHAT WOULDHAPPEN
There's a smart animal that doesn't have a skull. It
doesn't have any bones at all!
That animal is the octopus.
Because it has no bones, a 600-pound octopus can
squeeze through a hole that's the size of a coin!

Suppose you had no bones and could move like an

octopus.
