Head to Toe

The human body is a fascinating and complex machine, with each of its many parts fulfilling a unique and interesting function. Head to Toe, based on Pacific Science Center's nationally-acclaimed Science On Wheels Blood and Guts exhibition, educates visitors about five body topics: skeletons, organs, the senses, general health, and general body facts. Its modular kiosk design makes set up and take-down a snap and allows for great flexibility in floor plan layouts. (Appropriate Grade Levels: K-8)

Fingerprints
Magnify and compare your fingerprints here and find out if your print patterns are loops, arches, whorls...or maybe just accidental.

Skull Comparison

Backbones
Compare a human backbone to that of a snake--an animal that is all backbone--and see how each uses its vertebrae for differently.

Smell-O-Rama
Squeeze each of the seven bottles to blast a familiar scent into the air. Can you identify it? Learn more about how scent detector cells in the nose absorb chemicals and send nerve impulses to the brain.
