Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

What makes the heart beat faster or slower? How do tightrope walkers keep their balance? Why does spinning fast cause dizziness? Now kids can learn the answers to these and other questions about the human body through dozens of easy activities that can be performed at home or in the classroom. In The Human Body for Every Kid, kids make a model of a human cell that they can eat for dessert. Theyll study their own heartbeats after different kinds of activity. And, with a soda bottle, a balloon, and a garbage bag, theyll make a working model of a human lung. Kids will explore all the different systems of the body, including the five senses; heart, lungs, and circulation; muscles and bones; the nervous system; the brain; and more. Each of the activities in this book begins with a statement of purpose followed by a list of materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and a scientific explanation in terms that kids can understand. Parents will be glad to hear that each and every activity has been "child tested" by the authors own students and can be performed safely and cheaply in the classroom or at home.
