Experiments with the Human Body


Book Description

These simple and engaging biology experiments use easy-to-obtain household materials to explore the science behind the human body. Readers are guided through applying the scientific method to conduct experiments, which include observing the effect of body position and exercise on heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure; building a model of the human eye; and figuring out how food moves through the body. Clear instructions and scientific illustrations will allow students to gain a better understanding of the basic biological concepts demonstrated by each experiment. This book also contains safety tips to educate students on the code of conduct expected when conducting experiments.







Body Science


Book Description

The human body is amazing, from its ability to heal to the special shape of body parts that help them do their job. In this book presented by Scientific American, young scientists tackle 10 experiments that teach them more about their bodies, including their how their blood flows, how the body breathes, and even the shape and size of their ears! Each experiment includes a background section explaining the science behind what readers are testing, a thorough materials list, and understandable instructions. Some projects offer expansion of the experiment, making them perfect for science fairs and school projects.

The Uses of Humans in Experiment


Book Description

Scientific experimentation with humans has a long history. Combining elements of history of science with history of medicine, The Uses of Humans in Experiment illustrates how humans have grappled with issues of consent, and how scientists have balanced experience with empiricism to achieve insights for scientific as well as clinical progress. The modern incarnation of ethics has often been considered a product of the second half of the twentieth century, as enshrined in international laws and codes, but these authors remind us that this territory has long been debated, considered, and revisited as a fundamental part of the scientific enterprise that privileges humans as ideal subjects for advancing research.
