Published 5 months ago
Description
Human body biology and internal chemistry are the keys to understanding why your tears taste like a pretzel and your sweat feels like the sea. When Ziggy the Robot has a "cookie catastrophe," Dr. Owl and Emma must explain the amazing secret of "Human Soup"—how our bodies use salt to send zippy electrical messages from our brains to our toes! Kids will discover how salt acts as a superhero eye-shield against germs and why we are all a little bit like a walking piece of the ocean. It’s a high-energy adventure through your nerves, muscles, and the science of staying balanced!
