This book is an exciting introduction to the often complex, sometimes gross, and completely fascinating functions of the human body. Featuring practical activities and easy self-experiments, including keeping a poop diary and optical illusions, the book explores what happens to the food we eat, how medicines can fool us into making us feel better, as well as how and why we dream.
Written with a zany sense of humor, and packed with facts and hands-on activities, the Brainiac’s series is the perfect introduction to creative and accessible STEM topics.
