Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When parents run out of answers ("Mum, what does the pancreas do?"), try offering the aspiring surgeon a copy of DK's The Ultimate Human Body. This DVD entertainingly teaches kids how the body works, using animations, diagrams and spoken descriptions. The three main sections make up a multimedia encyclopedia of the body. The Systems Scanner is a good starting point, with short answers to questions such as how do I swallow?. The 3-D Scanner allows you to navigate around a cutaway image of the body, with links to animated videos and statistics about the body's workings. Finally, the X-Ray Scanner displays the skeleton and the names of bones. A multiple choice Body Challenge Quiz tests whether you've been paying attention while browsing. After a wrong answer you can link directly to the page containing the correct fact. Two documentary videos complete the package. The first examines the skeleton, its adaptations in vertebrates from sharks to antelopes, and its role as a symbol of death and mortality. The second looks at the human machine, showing how the body's mechanical parts function together, from intricate organs like the ear to the powerful muscles of a sprinter. The presentation is designed for a wide age-range, with text explanations kept simple, and more technical terms included on diagram captions. The Ultimate Human Body is an ideal fact-source for early teens, with enough appeal to keep younger children engaged too.--Frank Pennycook
