Description
Publisher's Description of Human Biology (Bring Science Home)
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.
