The only way to get back in is to crack the code by assembling a life-sized human skeleton. Once pupils have made it into the lab, they can explore the amazing function of bones and muscles, and help some local doctors to care for their patients. Pupils then head into the woodland to get hands-on with real animal bones and specimens to solve a series of challenges and help vets and zookeepers look after their animals.
