JennyD Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 This is for an 8yo and a 5yo -- any favorites to suggest? I have a number of books, including a Basher book, two relevant Magic School Bus books, a DK title, and a few others, but I would also love some recommendations of sources for activities and/or experiments.

dewdropfairy Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 My 8 year old is fascinated with the Dr. Frankenstein's Body Lab app, http://us.dk.com/static/cs/us/11/features/apps/drf/ as well as the "Squishy Human Body" kit http://www.smartlabt...human-body.html (we bought ours at Barnes and Noble).

JennyD Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Thanks so much for all the suggestions! I am writing these all down. That Body Book looks great, and I had totally forgotten about Blood and Guts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaCEmom Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The Body Book & the Easy Make & Learn Human Body are both included in the $1 eBook sale. Both are really neat! There's also an older Usborne book called You & Your Body. It's available for really cheap on amazon & it's a compilation of 5 of their softcover titles. We referenced that a lot when we did our human body unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatholicMom Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 My kids loved this Squishy Human Body toy/kit made by SmartLab toys: http://www.smartlabtoys.com/squishy-human-body.html We got it at Walmart for them for Christmas and it was a lot more educational than I anticipated, and the kids loved it. We also have the Usborne Book of the Human Body which we like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 We used the Body Book combined with Janice Van Cleve's Let's Play and find out about the Human Body. Our neighbor, a high school bio teacher, was amazed at how much they understood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
