The human body is a fascinating, mysterious - and sometimes even stinky! - piece of machinery. Explore the extraordinary inner workings of your body, from your tongue to your toes and everything in between. The innovative mechanical torso simulates an X-ray view of the body and contains different interactive models that demonstrate how major body systems work. Assemble a simple squeeze-bulb pump to circulate red dye through thin, clear tubes like your heart and circulatory system. Expand and contract two balloons inside a rubber diaphragm to mimic how air is pulled in and out of your lungs. Discover how the esophagus, stomach, and intestines are related as you guide a ball through a maze shaped like your digestive tract. Observe how the spine, rib cage, shoulder blades, and pelvis all connect to keep your torso strong and straight. Dabble with slime as you learn about the important role mucus plays in your respiratory system. Stretch and contract rubber bands to illustrate how the bones, muscles, and tendons in your arm work to move. An eight-page, full-color experiment guide takes you through your exploration with fun facts, scientific explanations, and hilarious illustrations. Scan the QR codes to listen to exclusive content from Wow in the World’s Guy Raz and Mindy Thomas. This kit also includes a sleek display stand and a special syringe to add to your collection of classic STEM tools.
