Human Body in Action focuses on the human body from cells to
systems, including the skeletal & muscular systems, the circulatory &
respiratory systems, and much more. Each video features kids having real world
experiences, along with stunning microphotography and clear, colorful graphics.
A recurring theme in the series is the hierarchy of the human body: cells, organs
and organ systems. Every program includes an easy-to-replicate, hands-on activity
and an interview with an expert in a particular area of science. The series is based
on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Life
Science: Structure & Function in Living Systems, Reproduction &
Heredity, Regulation & Behavior and Diversity & Adaptations of Organisms.
