In Human Body Learning Lab, pediatrician Betty Choi helpfully pulls back the curtain on a topic that is of great interest and great mystery to many elementary school-age children: human anatomy and physiology. Describing each of the body’s systems in friendly prose, the book seeks to encourage children’s curiosity and bodily autonomy through a combination of colorful diagrams, simple activities, and fun facts about everything from the skin to the endocrine system.

DIY spirometer human body activity for kids

Dr. Choi not only presents a wealth of useful information about the workings of the human body, but she also includes instructions on how to actually “build” body parts and body systems. Hands-on learning is the best way for kids to really absorb what they’re studying.

Dr. Betty Choi takes the young reader on an exciting, empowering, and interactive tour of the human body. The projects are a perfect balance of entertainment and education, made to cultivate curiosity and awe of our amazing bodies. It’s a new favorite in our home!

This is the book we have been waiting for…Visually stunning, fun, active, and educational. Bound to keep kids entertained and learning for hours. As a pediatrician and mother, I have been searching for a medically accurate book to teach about the human body. Not only does Dr. Choi’s book speak to children on their level, but the book has practical activities to accompany each organ system to deepen learning.

This book is AMAZING! It’s a colorful and creative way to make learning about human biology fun for kids (and their grownups, too!). Human Body Learning Lab answered so many questions and opened up numerous discussions. It’s a valuable reference our family will be using over and over again.

The way that it’s written (for kids, but not talking down to kids), and the tone that it’s written in (both casual and caring) are a breath of fresh air (pun intended – go lungs!)! I love the variety of activities (hello, poop diary!) as well as the welcoming words and pictures – what a great way to get to know our bodies!

This book is a must-have for every family and classroom! Drawing on her experience as a pediatrician and home educator, Dr. Choi does a brilliant job presenting complicated health and human anatomy facts in a way that is engaging and easy to understand for children.
