Human Body

Last night we watched Inside the Living Body and Incredible Human Machine on the National Geographic Channel. Georgia saw a commercial for it earlier in the week, so we made sure to remember to check it out. And we are glad we did!

Inside the Living Body took us on a journey from birth through old age. We learned the changes that occur at each stage in life. It was incredible!

You can learn more about the show, about the human body, and watch some clips here: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/inside-living-body/index.html

You can also check the schedule for when it airs again.

Incredible Human Machine was also fascinating. You can check it out here: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/incredible-human-machine/index.html

And they have the Incredible Human Machine game that we have played before. The girls did that again today.

They played other anatomy games as well. Some of them can be found here:

They built a skeleton, put organs and muscles in their correct spots, answered questions, reviewed the senses, and had lots of fun!

And might I suggest taking the Senses Challenge!? http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/body/interactives/senseschallenge/

(By the way, this is our one-hundredth post!)
