The Body Team: Brain Games at the Star Tower

It’s Brain Games night at the Star Tower! Professor Luna Moon has set out puzzles, balls to catch and bike helmets, and every game shows how your whole body team works together.

Remember: Your brain is the boss of the body team. Nerves carry messages between your brain and every part of you, through the spinal cord inside your backbone. Your senses send messages to the brain, and the brain sends messages to your muscles. Your skull and a helmet protect your brain.

Magic trick: Catching a ball is a relay race: eyes see it → nerves tell the brain → the brain sends a message down the nerves → muscles move your hands. Catch!
