We’re excited to unveil the completion of the second Body Adventure made especially for the Chickasaw Nation. While many aspects of this second version were similar to the original, we were tasked with changing and adding custom elements to reflect the Native American culture. Check out the picture gallery to see more.

The Body Adventure is a 40-foot by 50-foot walk-through multisensory exhibit representing the human body. Students K-5th grade are invited to tour the exhibit to learn how eating right and exercising affect their bodies in a positive way.

It has been proven that learners will remember up to 75% more from multisensory environments than they will retain from a unisensory experience. Additionally, recall of the learned content is higher, and the memories last longer.

The Image Resources Group would like to extend a very big thank you to the Kansas Department of Education and their Body Venture Team for allowing us to utilize their marketing materials and video. It’s been a pleasure working with these wonderful educators on a project so important to all of those involved, as well as to the children of the state of Kansas.

Lifestyle choices made at early ages have a direct impact on adult health. Students need to learn about healthy lifestyle choices and to avoid behaviors that have an adverse impact on adult health. Healthy eating and physical activity are important life skills that help children grow and prevent them from developing health problems, such as obesity, later in life. Obesity in youth often carries over into adulthood contributing to the development of many chronic diseases including heart disease and diabetes. A critical need to address good nutrition, physical activity, and other healthy lifestyle choices exists because among American kids:

- Only 2% meet all recommendations of the Food Guide Pyramid.
- 16% do not meet ANY of the recommendations of the Food Guide Pyramid.
- Less than 15% of school children eat the recommended servings of fruit.
- Less than 20% eat the recommended servings of vegetables.
- About 25% eat the recommended servings of grains.
- Only 30% consume the recommended milk group servings.
- About two-thirds eat more fat than is recommended.

Teachers need additional resources to increase nutrition knowledge and improve eating skills of elementary school students. The Body Adventure can help meet these needs.
