The Sassafras Science Adventures Volume 2: Anatomy
The summer-long, science-filled, adventure-packed journey continues with a look at the human body!
In The Sassafras Science Adventures Volume Two Anatomy, the zip-lining science adventure continues for Blaine and Tracey Sassafras - and we want to bring you along for the ride!
Join the Sassafras Twins as they travel to fascinating locales to learn about the human body.
Together, you will learn all about the human body as Blaine and Tracey zip around the globe. In the book, you will visit locations like:
- An ancient tomb in Ethiopia to learn about the skeletal system;
- A garbage landfill in Texas to study the digestive system;
- And a bistro in Italy to experience the five senses!
The twins will meet a variety of local experts who help them along the way to learn about the different systems of the human body.
We want you to enjoy learning about anatomy, too!
And, we know that through every tooth key, garbage digestion system, and delicious meal in this living book will teach your students about the human body in a way that they’ll never forget!
We know this because thousands of readers have already told us so. Here is what one of our Sassy-Sci peeps had to say about the second leg of our adventure:
"My son thoroughly enjoyed following along with this adventure. He was intrigued and locked on to the zip line escapade as he learned about the human body and its systems. Thanks for another great volume in the science adventures of Blaine & Tracey!" Review by ajc on Amazon
