The human body is a complex network, with ten major systems working together to keep us alive. The best way to understand how these work is through a combination of information and experiments. This hands-on book provides exactly that, packed with more than 40 STEAM experiments and activities suitable for children aged 8 to 12. Some of these activities include taking on the role of a heart with your homemade heart pump model and extracting DNA from cells as you learn about the unique codes that make you, you. When carrying out these experiments, there are clear step-bystep and photographic guides to follow alongside scientific explanations for your results.

This book is written with children in mind, so there are plenty of relatable analogies that will help to make the scientific processes more memorable. Accompanying the text, stimulating illustrations combine cartoon imagery and informative diagrams, allowing the reader to visualise their own detailed anatomy. Between learning some of the basic functions of the body, fascinating fact boxes are dispersed throughout. In these you can expect to learn the most surprising details about your body.
