Did you know that your brain has up to 100 billion nerve cells? Wow!
What else is going on in your body?
In The Human Body: Get Under the Skin with Science Activities for
Kids, middle schoolers learn about the different bodily systems that
keep people breathing, moving, thinking, and staying healthy! Kids get a
good look at all the action that's going on right inside their own
bodies, from understanding just how that apple turns into energy to how
the "leftovers" make their exit.
By studying the circulatory system, the digestive system, muscles,
bones, the brain, senses, reproduction system, and more, kids gain a
deep understanding of why they can do the things they do and even learn
about what they can do to take care of their bodies so they live long
and healthy lives. Through science-minded STEM activities, readers see
exactly how smoke affects the lungs, how the heart really acts as a
liquid pump, and how the different joints are structured and serve
different purposes.
The Human Body includes critical thinking exercises and essential
questions related to anatomy. Fun facts, links to online primary sources
and other supplemental material, plus graphic novel illustrations and
photography encourage readers to take a deep dive under their skin!
