Stealth Science
Why this book counts
- Life Science
- Human Body & Health
- Story / Adventure
Frizzle's class explores sensation through the series' exaggerated field-trip adventure and humor. Moving between human and animal examples makes sensory structures, incoming information, and different ways of perceiving the environment part of the class's discoveries.
The science inside
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Animals & Zoology
Your child will meet:
- Sensory receptors respond to particular kinds of stimuli and send information through the nervous system.
- The brain interprets sensory signals, so perception is more than a simple recording of the environment.
- Animals differ in which sensory information they detect well because their bodies and ecological needs differ.
- Several senses often work together when an organism identifies an object or responds to a situation.
