This book is packed with tricks and experiments that involve the five senses, anatomy, physiology, nutrition and physical challenges, gadgets (like a reaction timer) to make, plus optical illusions.

For example:

Sight: disappearing dot - find the blind spot in your eye; hearing: hearing bells - make a coat-hanger sound like a church bell.
Taste: sweeter sugar - convert ordinary sugar to 'invert sugar', which is 20% sweeter.
Smell: smelly family - identify your family's clothes while blindfolded.
Touch: two-point discrimination - simple test for different body parts.

Learn amazing facts and truly scientific trivia about human bodies and how they work.
