Look Inside Your Body (Look Inside Board Books): 1

Product Information

It is written in an informative, factual but informal way which is beneficial because it is adding to the children’s vocabulary as well as understanding things that are going on with their own bodies in a fun way. This book is so great. It is so informative. My son loves to look and see what happens when you eat food (let’s be real – he loves to see the poop)! It has over 100 flaps (including flaps in flaps)! It shows how your muscles work and how your brain processes what you see. I highly recommend this book.” Other Usborne Books & More titles in the Series include:

Learn more about your body in this lift-the-flap Look Inside Your Body Usborne book. Flaps are layered under flaps to dive deeper into the body layers. R B Gunderman, X-ray Vision: The Evolution of Medical Imaging and its Human Significance (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013)Young readers' minds will boggle as they learn about how their brains work, what happens when they eat, how their lungs use oxygen and much more. Digital photography continues to play a role in medicine through documentation, research and education. Video cameras are commonly used to look inside the body, most often in the form of endoscopes. However, PET is not used in medicine as often as other scanning techniques. PET techniques are complex and expensive, partly because they require enormous machines called cyclotrons to produce the radioactive tracers. An MRI scanner detects these weak signals. Because each of the body’s tissue types emits a different frequency of radio waves, the MRI scanner can distinguish between them and build an image based on the data it receives.

Look Inside Your Body is one of the best Usborne books, and a book absolutely every family should own. It breaks down the body systems and functions in a way that’s easy for young kids to understand. It would be useful throughout KS1-2. Even if the younger children are not fully aware of all the terms they are still able to use their fine motor skills when using the flaps etc.R Bud and D J Warner (eds), Instruments of Science, An Historical Encyclopaedia (London: Science Museum, 1998)

J Bronzino, V Smith and M Wade (eds), Medical technology and society: an interdisciplinary perspective (Massachusetts: MIT press 1990) B Holtzmann-Kevles, Naked to the Bone: Medical Imaging in the Twentieth Century (New Jersey: Rutgers University Press, 1997) In MRI, the patient is placed in a powerful magnetic field, which influences the hydrogen atoms in the body. Short bursts of radio waves are then used to alter the atomic alignment created by the magnetic field. When the radio waves are turned off, the atoms return to their alignment and in so doing emit a weak radio signal of their own. When a body is placed between an X-ray source and a photographic (or fluoroscopic) film or screen, an image forms. Denser body parts, such as bones, absorb more X-rays, creating lighter areas on the image. Softer tissue allows X-rays to pass through, leaving dark shadows on the image. The result watered down an otherwise interesting and innovative programme. It could have easily been a half an hour shorter.
