The Galt Body Lab explores how the human body works through 14 experiments. Students listen to a heartbeat with a real stethoscope, measure the air in their lungs, test muscle memory, check the strength of hair, analyse fingerprints and look at good and bad bacteria on the skin.
The kit includes a stethoscope, two petri dishes, gloves, swabs, a tape measure, syringe, tubing, vegetarian gelatine, a fingerprint ink pad with ID sheets, a magnifying glass, reusable bone and organ stickers, skeleton and organ cards, a digestive system poster, a notepad and a 32-page lab book.
The kit won the 2019 Progressive Preschool Award for Best Preschool STEM Range. It suits primary science lessons on the human body and is intended for use with adult supervision.
