The Body Book

Easy-To-Make Hands-On Models That Teach

Did you know that a newborn baby has more bones than an adult? Or that it takes up to 20 hours for food to pass from one end of the digestive system to the other? Students will learn these cool facts and more as they assemble easy-to-make manipulatives that will help them understand the inner workings of the human body. Reproducible patterns and easy step-by-step instructions help students construct bone and stomach books, a spinal column out of cardboard and string, paper models of the major organs and systems of the human body, and more! Includes background information, facts about drugs, nicotine, and alcohol, plus a resource list.
