Human Biology: 10 Fun Experiments Investigating the Body

About this book

The human body is amazing! There are so many things to learn about it: How strong is hair? Does step length correlate with height? What does handedness mean? In this title presented by Scientific American, young scientists test these questions, among many others. Each experiment begins with an introduction to the scientific concept that will be tested. Then, materials, set up, and execution are clearly explained, as well as questions to ask along the way to think about what the experiment shows about human biology. Science fair ideas and other learning extension ideas are included in many projects too.
