Active Learning! Human Body

Curious about how many bones an adult has, how breathing works, or what lies beneath the skin? This illustrated activity book explains the workings of the human body, covering its anatomy and physiology with detailed drawings, photographs, and clear text. Readers can explore how each system functions and why it matters.

The book is built around more than 100 puzzles and tasks that test what young readers learn. Pages include mazes and tangles, code-breaking, matching, anagrams, word searches, logic problems, sorting and identification games, quizzes, sudoku, spot-the-misfit challenges, drawing, and coloring. Write-in spaces let children record their answers as they go.

Written for children aged 8 to 12, the book suits young learners who are drawn to biology or medicine and can happily spend hours working through its pages.

It is part of the Active Learning series, created with the Smithsonian, a new line of interactive activity books that pair accessible information with hands-on games. The series is designed for teachers, educators, and parents around the world, and it works well as a home supplement to schoolwork.
