Human Body

How do the organs of the human body function? Why are they so different from each other? What does the word “system” mean when talking about the human body? How are the anatomical systems connected to each other? Can I make models that represent parts of the human body?

Ιn a series of 4 workshops, using simple materials, we will study the musculoskeletal system, the digestive system, the circulatory system, the respiratory system and the nervous system. Participants will do experiments and constructions and discover the functions of the human body!
