Skeletal Hand! - You Build It

Your hand weighs less than 1 pound, but it's one of the most important parts of your body! Think about all the ways you use your hands every day. With this science kit, you'll snap the hand together and take hold with flexing fingers and opposable thumb! This pull-trigger skeletal hand works like a human hand but without skin blocking the view, it's far more entertaining! Experiments and comparisons offer a first-hand look at how we grip, grab, and grasp-and that's just the beginning. Lefty or righty, it's handled here!

How long have thumbs been around? What are fingerprints good for? Award-winning author Melissa Stewart hands off a handbook about your amazing hands. Read all about it, from the immortalized hands of Wilt Chamberlin to flexors, thenars, and extensors, there's so much to know about this most-used and under-celebrated body part! Hands-down, kids will find this a worthy read.

Science Kit includes: Easy-to-assemble parts (plus adhesive fingerpads) so you can operate a realistic, bony hand! Also includes a 24 page, full color book with 5 great experiments! No batteries required!
