Wow in the World: The Amazing Body

The human body is a fascinating, mysterious — and sometimes even stinky — piece of machinery! Explore the extraordinary inner workings of your body with this innovative anatomical model. Its see-through exterior holds a number of fun, interactive models that mechanically demonstrate how major body systems work.     Assemble a simple squeeze-bulb pump to circulate red dye through clear tubes, modeling the heart and circulatory system. Expand and contract a balloon with a rubber diaphragm to mimic how air is pulled in and out of the lungs. Discover how the esophagus, stomach, and intestines are connected as you guide a “food” ball through a maze shaped like the digestive tract. Stretch and contract a rubber band to show how the bones and muscles move in the arm. Blow the fart whistle, squeeze the squishy brain, and see the skeleton glow in the dark!
