EXHIBIT HALL
Your Healer Within
The Your Healer Within exhibit introduces students to the human body's remarkable self-repair systems and explains how to tap these to stay healthy. A trip through the exhibition offers insights into anatomy, physiology, the immune system, the nervous system and much more specific content. Students will leave with a desire to get healthy and stay that way.
Generously sponsored by:
Every Body Eats
Every Body Eats, a 400 square foot bilingual (Spanish and English) traveling exhibit, is the perfect companion for the continuing Your Healer Within. Every Body Eats is designed to engage parents and children together through a highly interactive and playful environment that explores how to make healthy diet and nutrition choices.
Every Body Eats was produced and is toured by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. This exhibit was made possible by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) grant from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
