Body Basics Opens at A.C. Gilbert's Discovery Village

Does the thought of trying to teach children about the human body with its intricate structure and multi-faceted functions nearly give you an ulcer? Relief is here with a new exhibit at A.C. Gilbert's Discovery Village. Visitors can follow the Magic School Bus characters, Ms. Frizzle and Digestive Dan, on an adventure through the human body! The new exhibit, Body Basics, is full of interactive components that teach complex body functions in a simple and hands-on manner. Body Basics will introduce visitors to a wide range of body processes and functions from head to toe. The bright graphics and interactive components of the exhibit feature a lighted spine that hangs from the ceiling, a crawl-through stomach and a water-play digestive tract. Giant body parts, models, murals and large two-dimensional graphic panels give visitors big and small the sensation of walking through a giant pop-up book of "My Body."
