| Roll your tongue |
|
| |
Sitting in front of the
mirror, the child tries to roll their tongue. This ability (which
we do not all have) depends on the existence of small muscles,
decided by our genes. |

You and everyone else
|
|
| |
The child enters information
they have noted on their form into the computer.
The computer tells them how many visitors have had the same
characteristics as them. |
|
| |
|
|
| Race the skeleton |
| |
As soon as they pedal,
children see a skeleton pedalling in time with them in the glass.
They discover the structure of the skeleton and the role of
articulation in movement. |
|
| |
|
|
| See inside the body |
|
| |
As if in an animated
x-ray, the child sees what is happening in "their"
body when they breathe: circulation of air and blood, and the
role of the organs. |

|
| Test your senses |
| |
The map of the Isle of
the Five Senses invites the children to join in a treasure hunt.
Five riddles must be solved at each console by a single sense:
hearing, sight, touch, smell or taste. The right answers lead
them down the path to the treasure. But careful: if the information
is wrongly interpreted, their senses mislead them. In humans,
sight is most frequently the final judge: it confirms what we
have tasted, smelt, heard or touched. |

| World music |
|
| |
While it is easy to recognise
the music and songs of our own country by ear, we are sometimes
a little surprised to hear those of other countries. The rhythms
are not the same, but it is true that today, music "travels",
drawing on the sounds and beats of other countries.

|
| World languages |
|
| |
Thousands of languages
are spoken worldwide. Although it is not possible to speak them
all, here is an opportunity to learn to say "Hello and
welcome" in a language other than yours. |
