ADVENTURES IN THE BONE ZONE
Be a skeleton inspector. Watch your muscles dance. Or take the Chair Lift challenge.
From word puzzles to memory joggers, mix-and-matches to body tricks and surprising experiments requiring nothing more than everyday things you'll find around the house, here are hours and hours of scientific fun.
There's a maze through the human digestive tract, a sneaky way to test your stereo hearing and a genetic code to decipher.
Elementary, say Sherlock Bones. Or is it?
