We used Head to Toe Science for our 3rd grade human body studies combined with Easy Make and Learn Projects: Human Body by Donald Silver and Patricia Wynne and had a BLAST!

Head to Toe Science provides the necessary information and vocabulary with easy to do experiments. Home Training Tools sells the book with a supply kit for [...] if you want, we just bought a stethoscope and were fine.

Everything was very clearly explained, we loved the depth (it was just right, not too light not too heavy) and experiments illustrated the concepts very well. I would use this with 2nd-5th graders. We covered one chapter a week, doing science everyday so in 11 weeks, we covered the human body but it can be stretched out for longer, especially with reading other books.

We will use this book again in 2nd grade with our youngest son. Thank you Jim Wiese for providing such an excellent resource for human body!

I am teaching a unit on the body and found this book to be most helpful and informative. My class thoroughly enjoyed the experiments as well. I will be using it for years to come with my students! Great find!

I teach 11th/12th grade Anat and Phys and I bought this book, even though it is geared to 9-12 year olds, hoping to gain a few ideas from it. About half of the activities in the book are too simple for my juniors and seniors, but the other half are fun little things that I know they'll love to do. What a great way to incorporate some hands-on activities to break up lectures! It was definitely worth buying, even though I won't use everything in the book.

If you teach middle school life science and you cover the human body, this book is definitely a must!

Easy to use directions. Keeps kids excited. Activities are grouped into sets, and explore each topic from many angles.
