Get hooked on life science with the Exploratorium's new Human Body Explorations book. The collection includes twenty-eight rigorously tested, hands-on activities that help learners discover how their bodies work - on both the microscopic and macroscopic level. Suitable for middle school age children through adults, all the explorations use low- or no-cost materials. Detailed preparation information, scientific background, and explanations are included, as well as classroom management guidelines for teachers.
